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
introductionWe report a case series two patients of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) associated with previous COVID-19 that both patients survived. GBS is an immune-mediated disease that affects peripheral nerves and can cause life-threatening complications. CASE REPORTS: In both cases (53-year-old female and 59-year-old male) with severe GBS with complications, the smell of sense was investigated subjectively using Sniffin' sticks identification tests and objectively using objective olfactometry by the evaluation of olfactory event-related potentials (OERPs). Both patients had good results of the subjective Sniffin' sticks identification test without patholgical findings. Results of objective examination of OERPs: the P2-N1 wave complex was equipotent. No olfactory disturbance could be detected in either case, OERPs were plentiful in both cases.
conclusionThe presentation of a case series two patients of post-covid GBS are an example of one of the many complications of COVID-19 that can cause prolonged recovery. Despite the severe course of GBS and the long recovery time, both patients returned to normal life. An expanded prospective study is planned for the future to investigate post-covid olfactory impairment. The prevalence of GBS associated with COVID-19 is still unknown but it is evident that both mild and severe forms of GBS have been described in patients.
