Development of Multiple Autoimmune and Endocrine Disorders Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have been instrumental in mitigating the pandemic, but rare post-vaccination immune-related events have been reported. Due to the brief trial period and the pressing need to begin vaccination, adverse events have been documented globally in real-time data format. There have been recent reports of new inflammatory diseases or flare-ups of immune-mediated diseases after vaccinations all over the world. Despite the low prevalence of vaccination-related side effects, it is still important to report and identify the endocrine diseases linked to the COVID-19 vaccine to facilitate prompt diagnosis and treatment. We present the case of a previously healthy 42-year-old man who developed multiple autoimmune and endocrine conditions following administration of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Over the course of three years following vaccination, he developed vitiligo, herpes zoster (HZ), hypothyroidism, Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and central adrenal insufficiency. The clinical course began with skin depigmentation and rash following the initial doses, progressing to neuromuscular and endocrine abnormalities. Comprehensive investigation and multidisciplinary treatment led to stabilization of his condition. This case highlights a potential temporal association between COVID-19 vaccination and the development of multiple autoimmune and endocrine disorders. Further investigation and long-term monitoring are necessary to better understand the mechanisms and outcomes in similar cases.
