Global estimates of vaccine-associated narcolepsy from 1967 to 2023.

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.
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
Regional evidence on the signal detection between narcolepsy and vaccines is scarcely available and insufficiently understood, thus impeding a comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a global scale. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the global estimates of vaccine-associated narcolepsy, discern its association with specific vaccines, and thereby contribute to the advancement of more efficient vaccination protocols. This study utilized data from the international pharmacovigilance database concerning vaccine-associated narcolepsy from 1967 to 2023. Global reporting counts, reported odds ratios (ROR), and information components (IC) were analyzed to identify the signal detection between the 16 vaccines and the occurrence of vaccine-associated narcolepsy across 140 countries. We identified 2,183 reports (male, n = 870 [39.85%]) of vaccine-associated narcolepsy from 5,291 reports of narcolepsy. Vaccine-associated narcolepsy has been reported since 2009. The highest disproportionality signals for narcolepsy were observed with influenza vaccines (ROR, 156.53 [95% CI, 147.62-165.97]; IC, 6.72 [IC
