Scrub Typhus Associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).

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
Scrub typhus is a vector-borne disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. Clinical manifestations generally occur due to vasculitis and inflammation and can have variable degrees of systemic involvement. Meningoencephalitis and cerebellitis are well-known neurological manifestations of scrub typhus, but the occurrence of Guillain-Barré syndrome is extremely rare. The authors report a 7-y-old boy who developed fever followed by rapidly progressive ascending quadriparesis with areflexia and whose etiological workup revealed positive IgM scrub typhus antibody, as well as, a high OXK titer (1:80). Nerve-conduction studies in all four limbs were suggestive of demyelinating neuropathy. He showed complete recovery after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (2 g/kg) and azithromycin.
