Ascending Trouble: Guillain-Barré-Like Syndrome Due to West Nile Virus.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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) and GBS-like syndromes secondary to West Nile virus (WNV) are rare and poorly characterized. GBS is an immune-mediated disease that affects peripheral nerves, classically in a symmetrical and ascending pattern. It is generally associated with infectious microbes, but not classically with WNV. WNV, although a relatively new pathogen in the United States, has become a leading mosquito-borne viral infection in the country. We present a case of a patient who came to the hospital in Delaware, USA, with fever and confusion that rapidly progressed to worsening encephalopathy and paralysis requiring intubation and vasopressor support. This case emphasizes the need to include GBS or GBS-like syndromes on the differential in patients with encephalopathy and neurological changes, particularly in the setting of an increasing incidence of WNV infection in the United States.
