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

backgroundAbducens nerve palsy is the most common isolated ocular cranial nerve palsy. In adults, nontraumatic etiologies of isolated sixth cranial nerve palsy can include vascular disease, inflammation, tumors, and a prior history of infection. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 52-year-old Asian male who developed acute abducens nerve palsy after vaccination with the AstraZeneca coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine. A complete workup including magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits revealed no abnormalities. The patient experienced a gradual recovery over 10 weeks through alternative eye patching. The abducens nerve palsy is postulated to be correlated with the coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine.

conclusionDespite the recognized efficacy and cost benefits of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines, clinicians should be aware of the possible association between cranial nerve palsies and coronavirus disease 2019 vaccines.
