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

Since the 1990s, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) has been reported as a possible adverse event following immunization (AEFI). The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview of PMR (and PMR-like syndromes) following the most common types of COVID-19 vaccines, namely mRNA (tozinameran and mRNA-1273) and adenovirus-vectored (ChAdOx1-S) vaccines. To date, published literature reports few cases of PMR as vaccine-linked AEFI. Yet Vigibase, the WHO pharmacovigilance database, reports a few hundred cases. Based on these data, we address the question whether PMR/PMR-like syndromes following COVID-19 vaccines can be a true adverse or a coincidental event, and discuss its possible pathogenetic mechanisms.
