Miller Fisher Syndrome and Boomerang Sign: A Rare Presentation of Typhoid Fever.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Miller Fischer syndrome (MFS) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome which is characterized by a triad of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. It is uncommonly associated with systemic illnesses. We present the case of a young boy who came back after a trip to New Delhi in India, who developed MFS. MRI showed a callosal splenial hyperintensity which is called the boomerang sign. The evaluation revealed typhoid fever. This is probably the first such report of MFS associated with this infection.
