Delayed Onset Bilateral Vocal Cord Palsy in Miller Fisher Syndrome: The Rehabilitation Outcome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) typically presents with acute development of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. Bilateral vocal cord palsy (BVCP) is a rare manifestation of MFS. We present a case of a 66-year-old male diagnosed with MFS complicated by an unusually delayed onset of BVCP while undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. We also describe the inpatient rehabilitation course, including the use of a patient-guided suspension system (PGSS) as a therapeutic adjunct to aid gait training, resulting in significant functional improvement in ambulation and activities of daily living. Given the rarity of BVCP in MFS, this case highlights the importance of healthcare professionals being aware of this phenomenon so that prompt treatment can be initiated to reduce significant morbidity. Innovative treatment approaches such as the use of a PGSS may also prove beneficial in the rehabilitation of patients with MFS with significant ataxia.
