Facial Diplegia Variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Pregnancy Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Serious neurologic complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination are rare, and only a few cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have been reported after COVID-19 vaccination. We present the first reported case of the facial diplegia variant of GBS after recent COVID-19 vaccination in a pregnant woman. The 30-year-old patient was 27 weeks pregnant at the time she was diagnosed with the facial diplegia variant of GBS. Her symptoms began two weeks after she received the Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccine. A thorough evaluation for GBS was done, including a lumbar puncture that demonstrated elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein and nerve conduction study (NCS) that found evidence of a diffuse sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy. Nasal swab testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was negative on two occasions five days apart. All other diagnostic testing was unremarkable or nonexplanatory of the patient's clinical presentation. She was started on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and had significantly improved dysphasia, dysarthria, and facial strength. The patient recovered to baseline four weeks after presentation.
