Atypical miller-fisher syndrome after COVID-19 and sleeve gastrectomy: Contribution of neurochemical markers to early diagnosis.
Article in Infectious medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), began in late 2019. More recently, there have been sporadic case reports on development of Miller-Fisher Syndrome , a rare variant of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in COVID-19 patients. Case report: We reported herein the case of a French young women presenting with ophtalmoplegia, cerebellar ataxia, and universal areflexia following a bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). A concomitant COVID-19 diagnosis was retained based on microbiological testing. The patient was successfully treated after high-dose intravenous thiamine, but areflexia persisted. Underlying COVID-19 related Miller-Fisher Syndrome was established on physical examination and confirmed by pathologic neurophysiological findings and elevated level of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain protein in cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Conclusions: Guillain-Barré Syndrome and its variants after SARS-CoV-2 infection are extremely rare. The measurement of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain protein should be considered as an easy tool to detect an early affection of the peripheral nervous system.
