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

Background: The magnitude of the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is debated. Methods: We included patients with a first VTE in 2021 and controls from a sample of Dutch citizens. Participants completed a questionnaire on VTE risk factors and vaccination, with data linked to Statistics Netherlands. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) expressed the relative rate of VTE within 28 days post-vaccination, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, month of index date, and major VTE risk factors (COVID-19, surgery, cancer, and immobilization). Using previously reported age-stratified VTE incidences, we estimated vaccination's net impact by comparing the number of events attributed to vaccination and prevented by vaccine-induced protection against COVID-19-associated VTE. Results: We included 779 VTE patients and 5,311 controls. mRNA vaccines were not associated with VTE risk (BNT162b2 [Pfizer- BioNTech] vaccine OR 1.0, 95%CI 0.7-1.3; mRNA-1273 [Moderna] vaccine OR 1.4, 95%CI 0.8-2.4). Vector-based vaccines were associated with VTE risk (AZD1222 [AstraZeneca]: OR 1.5, 95%CI 1.0-2.5; Ad26.COV2.S [Johnson & Johnson]: OR 2.9, 95%CI 0.9-9.2). Excluding participants with major VTE risk factors, risks changed (BNT162b2: OR 1.5, 95%CI 1.1-2.1; mRNA-1273: OR 0.8, 95%CI 0.3-2.3; AZD1222: OR 2.0; 95%CI 1.0-3.9; and Ad26.COV2.S: OR 3.4; 95%CI 0.7-15.5). We estimated that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines contributed to approximately 700 VTEs but prevented approximately 3,700 VTEs. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are associated with VTE, with varying risks between types of vaccines, and by sex and age. On a population level, in the Netherlands in 2021, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination resulted in a net benefit for the number of VTE events.
