Unraveling the neurological intricacies: a rare case of Guillain-Barre syndrome in dengue fever.

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
Dengue, caused by the dengue virus, presents with various clinical manifestations, including rare neurological complications. Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy, is a rare complication, often triggered by antecedent infections. Herein, we report the case of a 30-year-old male presenting with GBS following dengue fever. His clinical course revealed classic GBS symptoms, including ascending weakness and bulbar involvement, with no noted infection that could plausibly explain a trigger for GBS. Diagnosis entailed cerebrospinal fluid analysis and nerve conduction studies which confirmed acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Treatment involved plasmapheresis, yielding a positive response. This case underscores the association between dengue and GBS, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion in endemic regions like Nepal.
