Questionable robustness in the findings of a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Marchand and colleagues conducted a meta-analysis examining COVID vaccine effects on all-cause and cardiac-related mortality. Findings aligned with previous research, showing no association with all-cause mortality. However, cardiac-related mortality exhibited a 6% increase post-vaccination. Concerns arise from reliance on a non-peer-reviewed study (Ladapo, 2022) influencing results significantly. Sensitivity analyses were lacking, undermining result robustness, particularly in gender-specific outcomes. Adherence to PRISMA guidelines for transparency and thoroughness could strengthen conclusions. This study underscores vaccine safety scrutiny, yet the influence of biased sources and absence of sensitivity testing warrant careful consideration.
