Small fiber neuropathy with normal intra-epidermal nerve fiber density but reduced sweat gland density after third BNT162b2 shot.

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
Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) has not been reported after the third dose of BNT162b2 in a previously healthy vaccinee. A 44-year-old previously healthy female developed pain and sensory disturbances in varying locations after the third BNT162b2 dose. Additionally, she developed recurrent tinnitus, headaches, arthralgia, neck stiffness, and motor dysfunction. A skin biopsy five months after symptom onset revealed normal intra-epidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD) but reduced sweat gland nerve fiber density. She is intended for a first series of intravenous immunoglobulins. SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations may be complicated by SFN; the diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 vaccination SFN may be delayed; IENFD may be normal, but sweat gland nerve fiber density may document SFN; and full recovery after SFN cannot always be achieved quickly.
