1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Delayed facial palsy (DFP) is a symptom that occurs after other neurological symptoms begin to recover within four weeks from the onset of MFS. As there have been few detailed reports about DFP in MFS cases treated with additional immunotherapy, we investigated three cases of DFP in MFS treated with additional steroid therapies. The duration of facial palsy in our cases was 12-24 days. No severe adverse effects were observed. Although adverse side effects should be carefully monitored, additional steroid therapy might be a treatment option for MFS-DFP.
