Acute bilateral vision deficit as the initial symptom in Guillain-Barre syndrome: A case report.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune-mediated peripheral neuropathy with an acute onset. GBS is associated with posterior cranial nerve injury including the facial, oculomotor, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. A 43-year-old female presented with worsening blurred binocular vision accompanied by diplopia, bilateral ptosis, speech difficulties, dysphagia, extremity numbness and weakness of the limbs. A neurological examination was conducted along with magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spinal cord, electromyography, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and visual evoked potential tests, which led to a diagnosis of GBS. Following immunoglobulin administration, the patient's neurological deficiencies were markedly relieved and they were discharged following a 3-week observation period. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of GBS associated with cranial nerve damage presenting with bilateral visual deterioration as the initial symptom. It is necessary to emphasize that early diagnosis and commencing the immunological treatment in a timely manner resulted in a favorable prognosis for the patient.
