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

objectiveTo review cases of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) after COVID-19 vaccination and add a similar case to the literature.

methodsA thorough PubMed search was conducted, and data from studies describing AMN after COVID-19 vaccination were extracted, tabulated, pooled, and reviewed.

resultsWe present a case of AMN in a young woman 5 days after immunization with the BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) COVID-19 vaccine. Data from 21 cases were pooled and reviewed. The most frequent vaccines among the cases were recombinant ones (13/21), followed by mRNA-based (6/21) and inactivated vaccines (2/21). Only one patient (5%) was male. Seventeen over twenty-one (81%) were young women, ages 18-33. Most cases (14/21; 67%) reported recent/concurrent use of contraceptive medication. In 90% of cases (19/21), symptoms appeared within 8 days of vaccination. A confined wedge-/oval-shaped lesion morphology was more frequent than a diffuse, semilunar one. Resolution of symptoms took 4 to over 15 weeks.

conclusionAttention should be paid to the history of vaccination and contraceptive use in patients with sudden-onset visual symptoms. Optical coherence tomography is integral to the detection of AMN-related abnormalities.
