1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has caused significant health and social impacts worldwide. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, can lead to neurological symptoms, including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This study aimed to compare the clinical manifestations, electrophysiological characteristics, degree of disability, and treatment outcomes of GBS patients with COVID-19 (COVID-19-related GBS) with GBS patients without COVID-19. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional multicenter study investigated the clinical characteristics and outcomes of GBS patients with a history of COVID-19. A total of 60 patients with GBS and a history of COVID-19 were included in the COVID-19 group, while 56 patients with GBS without COVID-19 were included in the control group. Demographic, clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic data were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The COVID-19 patients were older (56.2 ± 16.8 vs 47.46 ± 19.25; Conclusion: GBS in COVID-19 patients may have different manifestations and electrophysiological patterns, but the response to treatment and in-hospital prognosis were not different compared with GBS in non-COVID-19 patients.
