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

Here, we present a case of late-onset Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) associated with COVID-19. A 70-year-old woman presented with ascending paralysis and right lower motor neuron facial weakness 2 months after COVID-19 infection. Test results for SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin were positive at the time of presentation. Lumbar puncture showed albuminocytological dissociation, and electrophysiology showed features of demyelination with secondary axon loss. In the published literature on GBS associated with COVID-19, almost all patients presented with neurological symptoms 1-4 weeks after the infection. GBS can be an early or late manifestation after COVID-19. Patients with signs of paraparesis and facial weakness after COVID-19 should be carefully evaluated for immune-mediated central and peripheral nervous system disorders.
