Consider differentials before diagnosing COVID-19 associated polyradiculitis.
Article in European journal of translational myology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Evidence is accumulating that SARS-CoV-2 infections and SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations can induce Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). More than 400 GBS cases after SARS-CoV-2 infection respectively vaccination have been reported as per the end of 2021. GBS is usually diagnosed according to the Brighton criteria, but also the Besta criteria or Hadden criteria are applied. The diagnosis can be supported by MRI with contrast medium of the cranial or spinal nerves showing enhancing nerve roots. As GBS can be complicated by autonomic dysfunction such as pupillary abnormalities, salivatory dysfunction, reduced heart rate variability, bowel disturbance (constipation, diarrhea), urinary hesitancy, urinary retention, or impotence, it is crucial to investigate GBS patients for autonomic involvement. Before diagnosing GBS various differentials need to be excluded, including neuropathy as a side effect of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 medication, critical ill neuropathy in COVID-19 patients treated on the ICU, and compression neuropathy in COVID-19 patients requiring long-term ventilation.
