Atypical Guillain-Barré Syndrome Presenting After COVID-19 Infection.

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 acute autoimmune disease affecting the peripheral nervous system presenting as a symmetric, ascending polyneuropathy. The syndrome arises after a stimulus, such as infection or vaccination, and provokes an autoimmune response in the body. Common symptoms include rapidly progressive weakness in the extremities and generalized hyporeflexia or areflexia. However, GBS may have various presentations, which can make for a challenging diagnosis. We present a case of a 46-year-old female with asymmetric ascending weakness, paresthesias, and acute onset urinary retention occurring after Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Of note, this patient did not present with albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) studies. The complex presentation of her symptoms prompted a diagnosis of atypical GBS. Her diagnosis was achieved through a series of diagnostic tests ruling out other etiologies, such as meningitis and spinal cord compression syndromes.
