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

COVID-19 vaccines have received authorization worldwide. Vaccines are typically administered to the deltoid muscle, and axillary swelling/tenderness at the first dose (11.6%) and the second dose (16%) have been reported as secondary effects. Regional lymphadenopathy in the axilla and supraclavicular region has also been reported with a prevalence of 1.1% and is referred to as COVID-19 vaccine-associated lymphadenopathy (VAL). COVID-19 VAL mimics lymph node (LN) metastases on magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-Dglucose positron emission tomography. Although several specific findings of VAL on clinical imaging have been reported, the difficulty in differentiating between VAL and LN metastases could lead to false-positive or -negative diagnoses. Here, we report a case of breast cancer with ipsilateral VAL with multimodal imaging including 3D T2-weighted imaging, a new magnetic resonance imaging technique, and discuss the future perspective for differentiating between VAL and LN metastases.
