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

As social distancing guidelines continue to diminish across the country, viral pathogens that were once absent during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as influenza and RSV, have once again become prominent. Although serious side effects of vaccinations are rare, local complications of bursitis and skin and soft tissue infections are well-documented in the literature. We present a case of 1 such rare side effect: influenza vaccine related periostitis. A 39-year-old male patient presented with left shoulder pain which developed 2 days after an influenza vaccination administered to the left deltoid. His symptoms were persistent despite rest and 1 week trial of NSAIDs. MRI imaging demonstrated marrow edema and a periosteal reaction of the left shoulder. Overall, vaccine induced periostitis is poorly documented in the literature and the pathophysiology has not been fully characterized. Further research is crucial to identify patient specific risk factors and to raise awareness of this rare complication to promote swift diagnosis and effective treatment.
