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

Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare peripheral neuropathy, appears to occur more often in patients who have recently undergone surgery than in the general population. However, the pathophysiologic relationship between surgery and Guillain-Barré syndrome is elusive. Few cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome after cardiac surgery have been reported. Autonomic dysfunction, a serious complication of Guillain-Barré syndrome, has not been previously reported after cardiac surgery. We describe the case of a 71-year-old woman in whom the acute motor axonal neuropathic subtype of Guillain-Barré syndrome developed after mitral valve replacement. Despite plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, she died of complications from severe autonomic dysfunction 25 days postoperatively. Recognizing the potential cardiovascular involvement of Guillain-Barré syndrome is important, because patients who undergo cardiac surgery can be vulnerable to autonomic dysfunction in the early postoperative period.
