Postpartum Guillain-Barré Syndrome Rehabilitation: A Case Report on Multidisciplinary Management and Functional Outcomes.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a serious acute neurological disorder that can occur during pregnancy and the postpartum period, poses significant risks to maternal health. Severe cases may rapidly progress to generalized paralysis or life-threatening complications, underscoring the urgency of early rehabilitation interventions to mitigate acute sequelae. This report details the rehabilitation journey of a 27-year-old female diagnosed with GBS following cesarean delivery at 36 weeks of gestation. Initially presenting with limb paralysis, respiratory failure, and dysphagia, she received immunoglobulin therapy and mechanical ventilation; however, persistent deficits necessitated transfer to specialized rehabilitation. A multidisciplinary program integrated respiratory training (sputum clearance, high-flow oxygen, speaking valve use), swallowing rehabilitation (oral motor exercises, laryngeal elevation training), physical therapy (joint mobility, electrical stimulation), and psychological support. Following this regimen, she achieved ventilator independence, extended phonation duration from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and demonstrated safer swallowing with reduced aspiration risk. Despite these gains, residual challenges included incomplete limb motor recovery, food spillage due to weak oral musculature, and persistent sensory disturbances. Her progress highlights the role of early multidisciplinary rehabilitation in restoring critical functions in postpartum GBS, while persisting deficits emphasize the need for long-term adaptive care. This case provides actionable insights for optimizing maternal GBS management, advocating integrated care models addressing physical and psychological recovery to advance global maternal health priorities.
