Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Lacking Shoulder Pain Following COVID-19 Vaccination.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This case highlights a 77-year-old woman with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination without shoulder pain and its characteristic positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) findings. Some cases of PMR following COVID-19 vaccination have been reported. However, patients without shoulder pain or PET-CT findings without uptake at the shoulders are not described. Our case suggests that PMR should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with neck pain following COVID-19 vaccination, even if they lack shoulder pain.
