Anaphylatoxin Complement 5a in Pfizer BNT162b2-Induced Immediate-Type Vaccine Hypersensitivity Reactions.
Article in Vaccines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 underlying immunological mechanisms of immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) to COVID-19 vaccines are poorly understood. We investigate the mechanisms of immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions to the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine and the response of antibodies to the polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated lipid nanoparticle after two doses of vaccination. Sixty-seven participants, median age 35 and 77.3% females who tolerated two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine (non-reactors), were subjected to various blood-sampling time points. A separate group of vaccine reactors (10 anaphylaxis and 37 anonymised tryptase samples) were recruited for blood sampling. Immunoglobulin (Ig)G, IgM and IgE antibodies to the BNT162b2 vaccine, biomarkers associated with allergic reaction, including tryptase for anaphylaxis, complement 5a(C5a), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) for endothelial activation and Interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-33, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), were measured. Basophil activation test (BAT) was performed in BNT162b2-induced anaphylaxis patients by flow cytometry. The majority of patients with immediate-type BNT162b2 vaccine HSR demonstrated raised C5a and Th2-related cytokines but normal tryptase levels during the acute reaction, together with significantly higher levels of IgM antibodies to the BNT162b2 vaccine (IgM 67.2 (median) vs. 23.9 AU/mL,
