Guillain-Barre Syndrome Associated With COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report With Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2021. 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
COVID-19 has become a pandemic. It affects multiple systems of the body including the nervous system. It invades the nervous systems through multiple routes - either olfactory tract, bloodstream (by binding to endothelial receptors) or via ACE-2 receptors in the brain. We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) variant (acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN type)) associated with COVID-19 infection with positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19 and positive contact history with infected family member. GBS and its variants like AMAN can occur due to COVID-19 infection through its immune-mediated effects. Diagnosis of GBS should depend on the clinical and supportive criteria. The treatment should be started early to prevent progression and disease co-morbidities.
