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

backgroundTo generate COVID-19 vaccine safety data in Nigeria, passive reporting was supplemented with cohort event monitoring (CEM), an active surveillance system. We described reactogenicity within 7 days and adverse events up to 3 months after each AstraZeneca or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine dose while assessing the feasibility of implementing CEM in a low- to middle-income country (LMIC) during a mass vaccination campaign.

methodsParticipants were aged ≥18 years with access to mobile phones who received the first dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine from participating health facilities in 6 states of Nigeria during September and October 2021. Data collectors interviewed participants via phone on days 0, 3, 7, and thereafter every 7 days for 3 months. The same schedule was restarted if a participant received a second vaccine dose. Proportions of participant-reported adverse events following COVID-19 vaccine receipt were calculated. Investigation and causality assessment were conducted on deaths using the World Health Organization causality guidelines.

resultsWe enrolled 12,317 participants (AstraZeneca 6990; Moderna 5327); 6167/6990 (88.2 %) AstraZeneca and 4879/5327 (91.6 %) Moderna recipients completed a follow-up interview days 0-7 after the first dose; among them, 2685/6167 (43.5 %) AstraZeneca and 3533/4879 (72.4 %) Moderna recipients reported local reactions and 2456/6167 (39.8 %) AstraZeneca and 2087/4879 (42.8 %) Moderna recipients reported systemic reactions. Overall, 3891/6990 (55.7 %) AstraZeneca and 3978/5327 (72.8 %) Moderna recipients received a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine, among whom 897/3891 (23 %) AstraZeneca and 1979/3978 (49.7 %) Moderna recipients reported local reactions and 727/3891 (18.7 %) AstraZeneca and 1680/3978 (42.2 %) Moderna recipients reported systemic reactions. Among all enrolled, 11 died; there was no evidence to suggest any deaths were vaccine-related.

conclusionsNo unexpected patterns of adverse events were detected, providing additional data on the safety of these COVID-19 vaccines in Nigerian adults. We demonstrated that implementing CEM was feasible and may be valuable for safety monitoring of vaccines introduced in LMICs.
