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

backgroundDelayed inflammatory reactions (DIRs) in alloplast rhinoplasty are a rare complication that may occur several months to years after surgery. The exact causes and mechanisms are unclear, but several triggering factors, including infections, trauma, dental procedures, and vaccination, have been reported. CASE SUMMARY: A 39-year-old male patient who had undergone augmentation rhinoplasty 8 years ago had DIRs after the administration of the first dose of the mRNA Pfizer coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. He suddenly had tender, erythematous swelling on his face 6 d after vaccination. As there was no improvement in the patient's condition after the conservative treatment, surgical removal of an alloplastic nasal implant was performed. Immediately after the surgery, the DIRs and accompanying symptoms ameliorated rapidly. A histological study conducted during surgery was fibrosis and small fragments of the hyaline cartilage.

conclusionThe correlation between DIRs and COVID-19 vaccination has not been reported yet and the exact mechanism is unclear. Because the uncontrolled inflammatory reactions on the nose leave serious sequelae, surgeons should be conscious of the correlation between COVID-19 vaccines and DIRs associated with nasal alloplastic implants. And further histological or microbiological studies should be performed to determine the cause of DIRs.
