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

The COVID-19 pandemic brought not only a huge healthcare challenge to the world but also introduced many questions of how the human immune system reacts to counter viral invasion, including vaccination. Unlike most vaccinations that are not usually linked to any specific skin eruptions, COVID-19 vaccination has been linked to a variety of skin lesions. In this paper, we present two patients who developed granulomatous skin lesions post-COVID-19 vaccination, one patient has generalised granuloma annulare (GA) and the other patient develops localised GA. Both patients have good responses to treatment regimens containing systemic corticosteroids. We review the literature pertaining to COVID-19-linked skin diseases, particularly granulomatous diseases and discuss the possible pathomechanism of granulomatous eruptions in relation to COVID-19 vaccination.
