Food borne-botulism during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic time. A case and a possible familial outbreak in Barcelona.

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
introductionBotulism is a potentially fatal neuroparalytic syndrome caused by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin. The 25% are food-borne botulism cases. CASE REPORT: We describe a confirmed case of botulism attended in our hospital in September 2020, together with a second case in a patient's relative, suspected but not confirmed by laboratory tests. Clinical presentation consisted on general weakness, bilateral cranial palsy, mydriasis, and rapidly progressive tetraparesis in case 1, involving respiratory and swallowing function so she required hospitalization and support treatment. Non specific and transient symptoms occurred in case 2. SARS-CoV-2 infection was initially suspected in both cases due to pandemic situation in our country, ruled out by negative PCR. When B neurotoxin was detected in stool sample of patient 1 we confirmed the diagnosis of food-borne botulism probably linked to home-made conserved beans.
conclusionEarly clinical suspicion, together with laboratory and electromyography findings, and support treatment provided at hospital were crucial for favourable outcome. Being aware of this rare syndrom might contribute to its better management.
