Anti-GAD Encephalitis Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.

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
Since December 2020, a significantly higher number of people worldwide have been vaccinated for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Neurological complications have been reported after these vaccines, although a definitive causal relationship has not been proven in the available literature. We describe a 51-year-old man presenting with anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibody positive autoimmune encephalitis with progressive cognitive impairment and behavioral abnormalities, presenting shortly after the second dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, possibly representing a serious vaccine-related adverse event. Response to high-dose steroid and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was positive. As many people around the world have been vaccinated against COVID-19, this case shows that autoimmune encephalitis and even anti-GAD antibody positive autoimmune encephalitis can develop as a side effect after this new vaccine, but with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the clinic can have a good prognosis. Observational studies with large numbers of patients are needed to explain causality.
