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

case presentationAn acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an acute deterioration that can occur at any time and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. We herein report three patients with ILD who experienced acute respiratory failure after SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA vaccination. All the patients were male; the mean age was 77 years. They had a smoking history that ranged from 10 to 30 pack-years. Duration from the vaccination to the onset of respiratory failure was 1 day in two patients and 9 days in one patient. In an autopsied case, lung pathologic evidence indicated diffuse alveolar damage superimposed on usual interstitial pneumonia. In the other two cases, CT scans showed diffuse ground-glass opacities and subpleural reticulation, which suggests acute exacerbation of ILD. Two patients were treated successfully with high-dose methylprednisolone. Although benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks associated with uncommon adverse events, patients with chronic lung diseases should be observed carefully after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
