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

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder with unknown aetiology. Given the incidence of GBS is between 1.2 and 1.9 cases per 100,000 people annually [1], it is extremely rare in pregnancy. We report a case with a challenging diagnosis of pre-eclampsia (PET) in a 34-year-old diabetic primigravida who was diagnosed with GBS at 30 weeks of gestation. At her initial presentation, she complained of progressive weakness of her limbs and facial muscles. This was associated with difficulty swallowing. The diagnosis of GBS was made based on electromyography (EMG) and clinical findings. She was managed conservatively with supportive management and was delivered by lower segment caesarean section at 34 weeks of gestation due to rapidly deteriorating liver function tests (LFTs) in the likely setting of PET.
