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

backgroundsSARS-CoV-2 infection typically presents with fever and respiratory symptoms. Besides this, COVID-19-related central and peripheral nervous system manifestations are emerging.

objectivesThis study summarises the demographics, clinical profiles, laboratory findings, management strategies, and outcomes in a large number of patients with COVID-19-related GBS and its variants. We also compared its clinical profile with Zika and dengue virus-related GBS.

methodsThe authors carried out a literature search up to Dec 31, 2020, in MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane database, and Google Scholar for all published articles.

resultsThe study identified 54 different types of articles consisting of 70 cases from 17 countries worldwide. A maximum of 15 cases (21.4 %) were identified from Italy, followed by the USA (12; 17.1 %), Spain (11; 15.7 %), and Iran (10; 14.3 %). The age group that was more than 60 years had the most cases, i.e., 32 (45.7 %), followed by the age group 40-60 with 25 cases (35.7 %) with a male to female ratio of 2. Maximum cases were treated with IVIG infusion 58 (82.9 %), followed by Plasma exchange 13 (18.6 %) cases. Out of 70 cases, 7 (10 %) cases were manifested as Miller-Fisher syndrome. The most predominant electrodiagnostic variant was demyelinating neuropathy in 41 (73.21 %) cases. The outcome reported in 67 cases was survival in 63 (90 %) cases and death in 4 (5.7 %) cases.

conclusionCovid-19-related GBS were reported worldwide with a better outcome. Both postinfectious and parainfectious patterns were reported. Early recognition with prompt management of GBS can prevent further severe morbidity and mortality.
