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

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, incidence of brain abscesses is difficult to assess. Numerous studies reported benign and severe post SARS-CoV-2 vaccine side effects, including rare cases of brain abscesses associated with COVID-19 or Anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Here in, we report what we believe to be, up to date, the fourth known case in the medical literature of a Case presentation: We describe the case of a north african 63-year-old man with an unremarkable medical history except for recent anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. Following the administration of a third anti-SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccine, the patient developed neurological symptoms, including left hemiparesis, facial palsy, vertigo, and balance issues. Imaging studies revealed a right temporo-parietal lesion consistent with intracranial suppuration. Stereotaxic cerebral biopsy confirmed the presence of purulent content, indicating a brain abscess caused by multi-sensitive Conclusion: Sepsis-induced immunodepression appears to be a consequence of severe inflammatory state, as it dysregulates leukocytes population and results in serious infections. A plausible hypothesis is that a previous stress such as anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could lead to the development of a
