Guillain-Barré-Like Syndrome From Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Guillain-Barré-like syndrome (GBS) has been noted in solid tumors such as hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric, breast, and colon cancer and is characterized by an ascending weakness generally with mild paresthesias; however, it has not been noted in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A 64-year-old woman with moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the upper esophagus receiving 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin chemotherapy concurrently with radiation therapy presented for two weeks of progressive lower extremity weakness and numbness. She experienced acute worsening of symptoms after her cisplatin infusion. She underwent a lumbar puncture that revealed findings consistent with GBS and she began treatment with intravenous immunoglobin. She had gradual improvement in her weakness and paresthesias and was discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility. This case documents the first noted association between GBS and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
