A retrospective observational study of clinical and electrophysiological types of Guillain-Barre syndrome from Delhi.

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
Objectives: To understand the demographic characteristics (age, sex and comorbidities), distribution of electrodiagnostic subtypes, and severity and prognosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) variants. Materials and Methods: This 5-year retrospective study was conducted between January 2018 and December 2023. The patients ( Results: The patient group showed male predominance with an increased incidence with age. Antecedent infections were observed in 52 (38%) patients. Motor weakness, areflexia, and cranial nerve involvement (VII,IX,X,XI) were the most common clinical manifestations. The electrodiagnostic profiling included 96 (70%) patients with acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP), 25 (18.24%) patients of axonal forms and 16 (11%) patients of Bickerstaff Brainstem Encephalitis, Miller Fisher syndrome and paraparetic variants. Albumin cytological dissociation was documented in 61 (70%) patients out of 86 patients, which was more marked in AIDP than in other variants. The severity of GBS, using the Hughes disability score, was higher in patients with underlying diabetes mellitus. Recurrent GBS was observed in three (2%) and mortality rate was 2.91%. Conclusions: Our study showed a higher incidence of demyelination than that of axonal variants. There was more variation in albumin cytological dissociation in demyelinating subtypes than in the other variants. GBS severity was significantly higher in the patients with diabetes mellitus.
