Guillain-Barré and Miller Fisher syndromes in patients with anti-hepatitis E virus antibody: a hospital-based survey in Japan.

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
There have been reports from several countries that hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is frequently associated with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This study aimed to determine the frequency of HEV infection associated with GBS in Japanese patients, and to clarify the clinical characteristics of these patients. Sera obtained from 63 patients with GBS or Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) and 60 control subjects were examined for both HEV-IgM and HEV-IgG. Of the 63 patients, three were positive for both HEV-IgM and elevated hepatic enzymes: Two had GBS, and one had MFS. No control subjects were positive for HEV-IgM. Our study demonstrated that 4.8 % of patients with GBS or MFS from our institution had associated acute HEV infection. There were no clinical differences between GBS with HEV infection and other GBS cases. To our knowledge, this is the first survey in Japan of HEV-associated GBS or MFS.
