Exploring cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorders in the wake of COVID-19 vaccination.

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
Background: Individual reports have described lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) and cutaneous lymphomas emerging after administration of the COVID-19 vaccine; however, the relationship between reactions and vaccine types has not yet been examined. Objective: Determine if there are cases of cutaneous LPDs associated with certain COVID-19 vaccines and their outcomes. Methods: We analysed PubMed, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS), and our database for instances of biopsy-proven LPDs following COVID-19 vaccines. Results: Fifty cases of biopsy-proven LPDs arising after COVID-19 vaccination were found: 37 from medical literature, 11 from VAERS and two from our institution. Geographical distribution revealed the most cases in the United States, Italy, and Greece, with single cases in Spain, Colombia, Canada, Japan, and Romania. The average age of patients was 53; with a slight male predominance (male-to-female ratio of 1.5:1). The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was associated with LPDs in 36/50 (72%) cases, aligning with its 70% share of the global vaccine market. Histopathology revealed CD30+ in 80% of cases. The most prevalent form of LPD was lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP, 30%). All reported cases produced favourable outcomes (either complete or near-complete remission). Therapeutic approaches ranged from observation to treatment with steroids, methotrexate, or excision. Conclusion: LPDs after COVID-19 vaccination appear in the context of the same vaccines (proportionally to their global market shares), share clinical and pathological findings, and have indolent, self-limited character.
