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

In the last two years, our world experienced one of the most devastating and fast-exploding pandemic, due to the wide spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The scientific community managed to develop effective vaccines, the main weapons to shield the immune system and protect people. Nevertheless, both SARS-CoV-2 infection and the vaccination against it have been associated with the stimulation of inflammatory cells such as T and B lymphocytes that results in a cytokine storm, endothelial inflammation and vascular injury, which can lead to different types of vasculitis. We present the first case of de novo MPO-ANCA-associated vasculitis, which developed shortly after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, adequately responded to treatment, and subsequently relapsed after COVID-19 infection. With this case, we indicate an etiological connection between viral infection and disease development, as well as the possibility of a common immune mechanism between SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, that can stimulate vascular events and lead to vasculitis. There have been several case reports of de novo vasculitis, affecting large, medium, or small vessels, following either infection or vaccination against COVID-19, during the pandemic outbreak. We summarize previous reports and also analyze proposed pathogenic mechanisms between SARS-CoV-2 and vasculitis.
