Guillain-Barré syndrome after cardiac surgery: diagnostic dilemma.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Guillain-Barré Syndrome after cardiac surgery is very uncommon. Mechanism remains elusive although immunological reaction post surgery has been postulated. This disease can potentially increase the morbidity of the postoperative patients and generally cannot be explained by the cardiac disease or interventions. It is very much essential to diagnose the condition as appropriate management can substantially and profoundly change the course of treatment.
