Immune Thrombocytopenia and Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mass vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been safe and effective. The ongoing emergence of vaccine-induced complications has challenged the public trust in vaccination programs and, though uncommon, can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (VITT) is a rare and fatal complication of the COVID-19 vaccine. We present a rare case of VITT in a young female who presented with worsening headache, body rash with deteriorating neurological deficit after 12 days of the second dose of the ChAdOx1 COVID-19 vaccine. Initial blood tests showed thrombocytopenia with deranged clotting time and D-dimer levels. Her computed tomography venogram showed thrombosis in the left transverse sinus, and she was diagnosed with a provisional diagnosis of VITT. She initially managed with dexamethasone, intravenous immunoglobulins, and apixaban to reverse the autoimmune process. Our case highlights the clinical course, diagnosis, and management of VITT, which will assist physicians in the timely recognition and adequate management of VITT.
