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

Hereditary protein S (PS) deficiency is a rare condition associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). In 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic prompted development of vaccinations to protect against the virus. PS deficiency is not a contraindication to COVID-19 vaccinations, but there are no studies regarding potential adverse effects in this population. We report two cases, a 43-year-old mother and her 18-year-old son, who developed VTE shortly after their first COVID-19 vaccines. Testing confirmed hereditary PS deficiency with a previously undescribed mutation in both cases. The temporal association between COVID-19 vaccination and VTE in these patients with hereditary PS deficiency suggests a potential causal relationship. However, it is unclear if this applies to all patients with hereditary PS deficiency. This highlights the importance of reporting adverse events following COVID-19 vaccinations in this population to evaluate the risks and benefits of vaccination.
