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

Palatal tremor (PT) is an infrequent disorder characterized by abnormal movement distinguished into symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) and essential palatal tremor (EPT). SPT can have various causes, including damage to the Guillain-Mollaret triangle and hypertrophy of the inferior olive. In contrast, EPT is often associated with clicking sounds in the ears with normal imaging results and may have a functional origin. We describe a case of a 20-year-old girl presenting with clinical symptoms of PT two days after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 AstraZeneca vaccine. The patient had persistent audible clicks associated with rhythmic contractions of the soft palate. Complete resolution of symptoms occurred two days after the administration of oral clonazepam. This is the first known case of PT caused by the SARS-CoV-2 AstraZeneca vaccine.
