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

The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines became essential for addressing the global pandemic. Reactive arthritis after vaccination has been a rare phenomenon. Here, we present a case series of three patients with joint inflammation possibly attributed to COVID-19 immunization (mRNA and live adenovirus vectored vaccine). Symptoms were alleviated using non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids. After follow-up, the patients have not been diagnosed with any other rheumatic disease. Reactive arthritis after the COVID-19 vaccine is an unusual adverse effect and poses a negligible risk in comparison to the benefits of immunization, but it should be considered in differential diagnostics by a practicing rheumatologist who cares for patients with new-onset arthritis without apparent cause at the time of pandemic.
