1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report a case of 37-year-old man admitted with acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) which was treated with pulse-steroid therapy after the plasmapheresis and intravascular immunoglobulin. The improvement of the symptoms of AMSAN after pulse-steroid therapy may represent a therapeutic alternative for this variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
