Trigeminal neuropathy after tozinameran vaccination against COVID-19 in postmicrovascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia: illustrative case.
Article in Journal of neurosurgery. Case lessons, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundVaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 have a high level of efficacy and safety across all populations. However, numerous case series have been published on neurological disorders, including Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, transverse myelitis, and multiple sclerosis. The authors presented a case of trigeminal neuropathy after coronavirus vaccination in a patient who had undergone microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). OBSERVATIONS: A 77-year-old woman presented with acute trigeminal neuropathy after receiving a Pfizer-BioNtech vaccination (tozinameran) against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The patient had undergone MVD for TN and the facial pain completely disappeared. One month later, she received the first injection of the tozinameran vaccine. Twelve hours after vaccination, she presented with numbness and pain induced by touching any place on the entire right face. No eruption was observed on her face. The serum herpes zoster virus antibodies were confirmed within the normal range. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed no abnormalities. The authors suspected a right trigeminal neuropathy after vaccination. Administration of carbamazepine and pregabalin improved TN but facial numbness persisted, especially in the mandibular division. LESSONS: The coronavirus is a possible etiology of secondary trigeminal neuropathy in the case of MVD for TN.
