Neurogenic heterotopic ossification in Guillain-Barre syndrome: a rare case report.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2020. 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
Neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) is an abnormal development of bone in extra-skeletal tissues, related to neurological disease. NHO is frequently seen after traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. NHO may also occur as a rare complication of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). Here, we present a 39 year old man with an acute onset of GBS who developed NHO around both hips two months after the disease onset. Our patient had a history of mechanical ventilation, incomplete tetraplegia and prolonged immobilisation. The pathogenesis of NHO is unclear. Various risk factors have been associated with the development of NHO; prolonged coma, long-term sedation, spasticity, degree of paralysis. NHO is a rare complication of GBS and physicians should be aware that it can develop especially in patients with severe paralysis and in need of mechanical ventilation. Pain and restriction of movements, especially in the hips, should bring NHO to the mind.
