Missed Opportunities to Promptly Diagnose and Treat Polyradiculoneuropathy and Acute Motor Neuropathy: A Case Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Despite progress, the diagnosis and relative management of inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis with motor and sensory involvement remain challenging in non-specialized medical centers. We describe the case of a seven-year-old girl admitted to our hospital, with asthenia, headaches, mild diffuse pain, gait disturbances, and decreased strength of lower limbs. On admission to our hospital center, in addition to the blood tests and the cerebral and medullary magnetic resonance imaging, we performed an analysis of her cerebrospinal fluid. This test confirmed an albuminocytological dissociation and electromyography, which suggested the diagnosis of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy with motor and sensory involvement. The child was successfully treated with polyvalent immunoglobulin and neuromotor physiotherapy. This report highlights the importance for the clinician not to focus only on their protocols training but also on the ability to relate correctly the results of the required tests, to the patient's symptoms.
