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

objectiveTo evaluate the association between the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech

methodsA retrospective case control study of patients admitted and diagnosed with new-onset acute anterior uveitis, and matched controls admitted for other reasons (1:3 ratio), was completed. Rates of exposure to the BNT162b2 vaccine were compared between groups, and odds ratios for exposure to the vaccine were calculated. A secondary analysis of the overall number of patients with new-onset anterior uveitis in the six preceding years was conducted. This study was conducted in one academic center in Israel.

resultsA total of 16 patients were admitted for acute anterior uveitis during the study period. Of the 16 cases, 11 (69%) received the first dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine prior to presentation and 8 (50%) also received the second dose. This compares to 39 (81.2%) in the control group. The odds ratio for exposure to the vaccine among cases was 0.508 (95% confidence interval 0.141-1.829,

conclusionsIn this case control study and comparison with preceding years, we found no evidence to suggest an association between vaccination with the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech
