Beyond the Ordinary: An Atypical Guillain-Barré Syndrome Case With Unique Characteristics.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a patient with pharyngeal-cervical-brachial Guillain-Barré syndrome (PCB-GBS) that progressed to a severe state followed by a quick recovery after treatment. This unique clinical course has not been documented previously and provides a potentially invaluable description of a novel GBS variant. A 42-year-old man arrived at the emergency department with a 24-hour history of dysphagia, weakness in his right arm, and bilateral shoulder weakness. Nerve conduction velocity testing revealed bilateral sensory and motor polyneuropathy, leading to the diagnosis of GBS with the PCB variant. Timely diagnosis and plasmapheresis treatment contributed to a complete recovery of muscle strength and reflexes. In cases resembling ours, it is imperative to contemplate the existence of rare Guillain-Barré variants. This case underscores the necessity of recognizing and addressing rare Guillain-Barré variants in clinical settings with similar presentations.
