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

Administration of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccination has recently been associated with rare, unusual cases of thrombotic events. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman who presented to hospital with headaches, petechial rashes and bruising-7 days after receiving her first vaccine dose. Blood tests showed low platelets, a markedly high d-dimer and positive anti-platelet factor 4 antibodies. Computed tomography (CT) of head and venogram showed features consistent with venous sinus thrombosis. She was immediately started on IV pooled immunoglobulin therapy, high-dose prednisolone and full anticoagulation. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of head and venogram supported the initial CT findings, with features suggestive of a small-volume venous sinus thrombosis. Additionally, CT pulmonary angiogram revealed a right-sided segmental pulmonary embolism. Our case highlights the importance of increased awareness of this complication after covid vaccination and how searching for distal thrombotic events and liaison with tertiary centres influence clinical outcomes.
