Rupture of Vertebral Artery Dissecting Aneurysm after mRNA Anti-COVID-19 Vaccination: A Report of Two Cases.
Article in NMC case report journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread around the world, and widespread vaccination is considered the most effective way to end it. Although the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines has been confirmed, their safety remains a concern. In this paper, we report two cases of ruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysm (VADA) immediately after messenger RNA (mRNA) anti-COVID-19 vaccination. In Case 1, a 60-year-old woman experienced sudden headache 3 weeks before her first dose of the Moderna mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine. Magnetic resonance imaging showed dilatation of the right vertebral artery (VA) without intracranial hemorrhage. A day after the vaccination, she developed subarachnoid hemorrhage with pulmonary effusion due to a ruptured right VADA. She underwent endovascular internal trapping and parent artery occlusion under general anesthesia. In Case 2, a 72-year-old woman with a previous history of the left VA occlusion due to arterial dissection developed subarachnoid hemorrhage 7 days after the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 mRNA vaccine due to a ruptured right VADA and underwent stent-assisted coil embolization under general anesthesia. The postoperative courses of these two cases were uneventful. The accumulation of more cases and further study are warranted to clarify the relationship between COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and ruptured intracranial dissecting aneurysms.
