Clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 vaccine-related pneumonitis: a case series and literature review.
Review in The Korean journal of internal medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimsPulmonary toxicities of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination are exceedingly rare. However, there are a few reported cases after mRNA vaccination, especially from Asian countries. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 vaccine-related pneumonitis (CV-P) and to review cases reported in the literature.
methodsWe performed a prospective, observational case series analysis.
resultsEleven patients with a median age of 80 years were enrolled. Ten patients developed CV-P after BNT162b2-mRNA vaccination and one after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. We identified various patterns of CV-P, including transient infiltration, life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome, and aggravation of underlying interstitial lung disease. Most patients showed favorable outcomes with good responses to corticosteroid therapy.
conclusionIdentifying the mechanism of CV-P requires further investigation; however, radiological and laboratory findings in our case series support inflammatory dysregulation in the lung parenchyma after vaccination. Clinicians should consider CV-P in patients with atypical lung infiltration, no specific etiologies, and recent COVID-19 vaccination.
