Journey of Guillain Barre syndrome from the pre-pandemic era to the pandemic era: A 4-year retrospective study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Aims: To study demographic and clinical profiles of Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) in the pre-pandemic and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era and to compare the GBS incidence, severity, and its outcome in the pre-pandemic and pandemic eras. Methodology: This is a 4-year retrospective study done in a tertiary care hospital in Delhi, India, between March 2018 and March 2022. Patients were divided into the pre-pandemic era and pandemic era (2 years before and 2 years after March 2020). Results: The number of patients (N) was 25 in the pandemic/vaccine era, while N = 49 in the pre-pandemic era. The mean duration of hospitalization was significantly higher ( Conclusion: Our study showed no association of the incidence of GBS with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The mean hospitalization days were significantly increased during COVID-19 in view of associated respiratory involvement. The commonly held hypothesis of the increase in GBS cases during the pandemic/vaccine era has not been observed in our study.
