Simultaneous Occurrence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Three Members of the Same Family: A Case Report.
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 syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease that is usually triggered by an antecedent infection and is characterized by flaccid paralysis and hyporeflexia. Although a sporadic disease, a few cases of GBS have been reported in families, suggesting a genetic predisposition. Here, we present a case of simultaneous occurrence of GBS in three members of the same family, with two members having a preceding history of diarrhea. They were diagnosed via cerebrospinal fluid routine examination and nerve conduction study and responded to plasmapheresis. This suggests possible genetic susceptibility along with environmental triggers in the pathogenesis of GBS.
