[Clinical cases of Guillain-Barré and Miller-Fisher syndromes linked to COVID-19].

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
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has been associated with the development of neurological diseases such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and its variants. In the present work, two cases of demyelinating syndromes associated with COVID-19 are reported. Clinical cases: 53-year-old male with GBS and and 29-year-old female with Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) variant, respectively. Both patients presented the classic neurological signs and symptoms of demyelinating polyneuropathy that characterizes the syndromes. From the paraclinical biochemical tests, the increase of proteins in cerebrospinal fluid was distinctive. The positivity of the RT-qPCR for SARS-CoV-2 suggested the association of GBS and MFS with COVID-19. Both patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin showing improvement. Electromyography performed weeks ahead still showed chronic demyelinating involvement. Conclusion: The cases of GBS and MFS, along with other similar cases reported around the world, provide further evidence for SARS-CoV-2 as a new possible etiology of these rare neurological diseases.
