Demyelinating polyneuropathy associated with chronic inactive hepatitis B infection.

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
This is a case report of a 42-year-old female patient with chronic inactive hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection who presented with relapsing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Her initial attack was of acute onset (ie, acute CIDP) resembling Guillain-Barré syndrome that responded well to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. The second episode was chronic and refractory to IVIG. She was managed with plasma exchange, long-term corticosteroids, immunosuppressants and HBV antiviral therapy. She showed both clinical and electromyographic improvement, with no recurrence after 2 years of follow-up.
