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

The current emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the possible side effects of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination remain worrisome. Few cases of vaccination-related side effects, such as vasculitis, have been reported. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a type of vasculitis characterized by the histological richness of eosinophils, asthma, polyneuropathy, sinusitis, and skin or lung involvement. Here, we report the first case of new onset EGPA following COVID-19 vaccination in Korea. A 71-year old woman developed a skin rash and presented with progressive weakness of the upper and lower extremities after the BNT162b2 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech). She was diagnosed with EGPA and her symptoms improved after systemic steroid and immunosuppressant therapy. Although it is very rare, clinicians should be aware that EGPA may occur after COVID-19 vaccination.
