Mycoplasma pneumoniae-Triggered Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Children: Two Case Reports of Different ICU Presentations.

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
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated polyneuropathy with diverse clinical presentations. Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been increasingly recognized as a potential trigger, particularly in pediatric cases. This case report presents two atypical cases of M. pneumoniae-associated GBS in children in the pediatric intensive care unit setting. The first case involves a 10-year-old boy with pharyngeal-cervical-brachial variant of GBS, presented with descending paralysis and required prolonged mechanical ventilation and tracheostomy. The second case presents a two-year-old boy with ascending GBS complicated by underlying sickle cell anemia. Both cases illustrate that pediatric GBS requires prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment. In these instances, GBS was linked to M. pneumoniae.
