A Severe Pharyngeal-Sensory-Ataxic Variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome With Transient Cardiac Dysfunction and a Positive Anti-sulfatide IgM.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 syndrome (GBS) is a heterogeneous group of acute immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy that typically presents with classic axonal or demyelinating sensory-motor type. However, there are variants of GBS with atypical presentation. We report a rare case of severe pharyngeal-sensory-ataxic variant of GBS associated with poor cardiac systolic function, elevated troponin, and positive anti-sulfatide IgM. The sensory symptom atypically started in the hands in an ascending pattern, which progressed to involve the trunk and face and, later, all limbs. It was associated with severe dysphagia, ataxia, and generalized areflexia but with preserved muscle strength in all extremities. Recognizing the atypical pattern of presentation and the ability to perform an accurate clinical localization are the utmost important initial steps in making the diagnosis. The patient showed complete recovery after immunoglobulin therapy.
