Quantitative and qualitative features of acute phase-adverse events following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a large sample of people with multiple sclerosis.

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
introductionFew data are available on adverse events (AE) associated to vaccines in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS).
aimsto study the incidence of acute phase AE (AP-AE) related to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in pwMS compared to a control group, and to analyze the association between AP-AE and disease modifying treatments (DMT).
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study on 438 PwMS and 481 age- and sex-matched subjects not affected by dysimmune diseases that underwent two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer/BioNtech).
resultsTwo hundred and twenty five (51.4%) pwMS complained of ≥1 AP-AE after the first dose, 269 (61.4%) after the second dose. A logistic regression analysis revealed that only pwMS on Fingolimod and Ocrelizumab did not show a higher risk of developing AP-AE. The likelihood to present with ≥1 AP-AE, after correcting for age and sex, was significantly higher in pwMS than controls.
conclusionsThis study reports qualitative and quantitative features of AP-AE associated with the first and second doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a large sample of pwMS. The only risk factor identified for developing AP-AE is female gender. AntiCD-20 monoclonal antibodies and S1P inhibitors are associated with a lower risk of AP-AE occurrence.
