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

We describe the case of a gentleman with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and chronic lymphocytopenia secondary to treatment with fingolimod who presented with disseminated histoplasmosis after receiving the third dose of the Moderna coronavirus disease 2019 (mRNA-1273) vaccine. Following the vaccination the patient noted fatigue which worsened over time along with gradual weight loss. A few months later he noted low-grade fever and finally shortness of breath. A diagnosis of disseminated histoplasmosis was performed based on urine, blood, and imaging data. He responded well to prolonged antifungal treatment. Fingolimod was discontinued and replaced with glatiramer acetate. He has been clinically stable until the time of this report, 33 months following symptom onset.
