1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Following COVID-19 vaccination, ipsilateral axillary and cervical lymphadenopathy may occur, called vaccine-related hypermetabolic lymphadenopathy, which is considered reactive lymphadenopathy. We report here a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, which occurred three months after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine. The patient had cervical and axillary lymph node enlargement and a short-term fever that resolved spontaneously after the first and second vaccines. On the 90th day after the first vaccination, the patient developed a high fever and pathologically diagnosed necrotizing lymphadenitis in the axilla, which was diagnosed as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. Gallium scintigraphy showed localized swelling and strong uptake in the ipsilateral axilla. It implies the possibility of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease in axillary drainage lymph nodes in association with COVID-19 vaccine. Although only a few cases have been reported so far, this case is novel because of its later onset and diagnosis based on pathological and gallium scintigraphy imaging findings.
