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

Background: SARS-CoV-2 adenoviral vector DNA vaccines have been linked to the rare but serious thrombotic postvaccine complication vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia. This has raised concerns regarding the possibility of increased thrombotic risk after any SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Objectives: To investigate whether SARS-CoV-2 vaccines cause coagulation activation leading to a hypercoagulable state. Methods: This observational study included 567 health care personnel; 521 were recruited after the first dose of adenoviral vector ChAdOx1-S (Vaxzevria, AstraZeneca) vaccine and 46 were recruited prospectively before vaccination with a messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine, either Spikevax (Moderna, n = 38) or Comirnaty (Pfizer-BioNTech, n = 8). In the mRNA group, samples were acquired before and 1 to 2 weeks after vaccination. In addition to the prevaccination samples, 56 unvaccinated blood donors were recruited as controls (total n = 102). Thrombin generation, D-dimer levels, and free tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) levels were analyzed. Results: No participant experienced thrombosis, vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, or thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 10 Conclusion: In this study, SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were not associated with thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, increased thrombin generation, D-dimer levels, or TFPI levels compared with baseline or unvaccinated controls. These findings argue against the subclinical activation of coagulation post-COVID-19 vaccination.
