Case report: Lyme disease presenting as Guillain-Barré syndrome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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
Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States; however, it is very rare in Saudi Arabia. If left untreated, the disease can lead to neuroborreliosis, which can rarely present as Guillain-Barré-like syndrome. We propose the possible diagnosis of an unusual presentation of neuroborreliosis in a patient with a previous presumed diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Early clinical suspicion and accurate testing can lead to proper diagnosis and case management. Cases of LD in Saudi Arabia are limited in the literature. The association between GBS and LD is very uncommon, although there are anecdotal reports in the literature. We would like to raise awareness, among clinicians, including primary care physicians regarding the possibility of LD in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
