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

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the United States. Left untreated, it can lead to neuroborreliosis. Here we describe a case of early disseminated Lyme disease-associated Guillain Barre Syndrome in a previously healthy adult that early clinical suspicion and accurate testing led to proper diagnosis and case management. It is important to be aware of Guillain Barre Syndrome as an early consequence of Lyme disease especially during tick activity season. This case report is meant to raise awareness among clinicians and calls for protective measures especially where there is significant outdoor activity.
