Prognostic factors of mechanical ventilation in Guillain-Barré syndrome among adults and children in Vietnam.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2025. 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
Objective: Numerous studies have investigated predictors for mechanical ventilation (MV) in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), with varying results. This study identifies factors associated with MV in both populations in Vietnam. Methods: We retrospectively collected data on GBS patients at Children's Hospital 2 and the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City from 2017 to 2021. Clinical characteristics were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to identify predictors of MV. A bootstrapping stepwise approach was used to select the most appropriate predictors for the model. Results: A total of 108 adults and 112 children were included, with 15 adults (13.8 %) and 10 children (8.9 %) requiring MV. Dysautonomia and facial palsy/bulbar weakness were more common in ventilated patients (P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis identified dysautonomia as the only significant predictor for MV in both adults (OR: 7.43, 95 % CI: 1.78-30.98) and children (OR: 13.6, 95 % CI: 1.20-154.79). Conclusions: Dysautonomia is a significant predictor of MV in adults and children with GBS. Although facial palsy and bulbar weakness were not statistically significant predictors, their presence warrants careful monitoring. Significance: This study provides insights into GBS in Vietnam and underscores dysautonomia as a predictor for MV, distinguishing it from findings in previous prognostic models.
