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

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are associated with serious thromboembolic or thrombocytopenic events including vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis and immune thrombocytopenia, particularly AZD1222/ChAdOx1. According to the proposed mechanism, COVID-19 vaccines stimulate inflammation and platelet activation. In this study, we analyzed the role of AZD1222/ChAdOx1 vaccines in the activation of platelets and the release of anti-PF4 antibodies and inflammatory cytokines in a cohort of healthy donors without vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Forty-eight healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were collected from peripheral blood at three time points: before vaccination and 1 and 7 days after vaccination. Compared with the prevaccination data, a decrease in the leukocyte and platelet counts was observed 1 day after vaccination, which recovered 7 days after injection. The percentage of activated GPIIb/IIIa complex (PAC-1) under high ADP or thrombin receptor-activating peptide stimulation increased 1 day after vaccination. Furthermore, interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interferon-gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) increased significantly. Additionally, platelet activation and inflammation, with the release of cytokines, were observed; however, none of the individuals developed VITT. Mild thrombocytopenia with platelet activation and inflammation with an elevation of IL-8 and IP-10 were observed after AZ vaccination.
