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

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) following a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been repeatedly observed but GBS following a SARS-CoV-2 infection in a vaccinated patient has not been reported. A 69yo female developed paresthesias of both lower and upper limbs which were followed by progressive muscle weakness. The history was positive for a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection 15 days earlier. COVID-19 occurred despite a first dose of a vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, 40 days prior to onset of GBS. Since CSF investigations and nerve conduction studies were indicative of GBS, subtype acute, inflammatory, demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), immunoglobulins (30 g/d) were started. After two weeks complete recovery was achieved. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 infections may develop despite full vaccination and may be complicated by GBS. Since no other trigger of GBS could be identified, a causal relation between the SARS-CoV-2 infection and GBS was suspected.
