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

Vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) is a rare but highly morbid complication after adenoviral vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The pre-VITT syndrome is defined as vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia without thrombosis typically presenting with new-onset headache. This review aims to identify at-risk patients before complications such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis occur. We review previously published reports of 19 patients (median age 35 years, range 23-74; 16 females) who met the diagnostic criteria for a pre-VITT syndrome. Seven patients progressed to VITT, 12 patients did not. Patients who experienced VITT received delayed treatment. The median interval between the onset of headache and VITT-treatment (i.e. anticoagulation, immune globulins, or corticosteroids) was 5 days (range 1-8 days) compared with 2 days (0-5 days) in those without subsequent VITT (
