Bilateral Axillo-Brachial Artery Stenosis Following Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Vaccination Against Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19).
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The following case report is an overview of an unusual presentation of bilateral axillo-brachial artery occlusion following messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination against severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (COVID-19). A 64-year-old female presented with symptoms initially consistent with polymyalgia rheumatica five weeks following the first booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. She was successfully treated with prednisone therapy; however, despite the normalization of inflammatory markers, she later presented with bilaterally occluded axillo-brachial arteries. She successfully underwent endovascular management for the treatment of her symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of chronically occluded bilateral axillo-brachial artery disease following mRNA vaccination for COVID-19 successfully treated with endovascular therapy. The unusual pathogenesis of upper extremity arterial disease is reviewed and a review of endovascular treatment options is presented. A literature review of the types of vasculitis seen following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination is also presented.
