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

objectivesTo study the motor outcomes at 6-mo and 1-y follow-up of children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).

methodsThis study was an ambispective study of 12 mo duration including children with GBS. The motor outcomes were assessed using Hughes Guillain-Barré Syndrome Disability Score (GBSDS) and Overall Neuropathy Limitations Scale (ONLS) at discharge, 6-mo, and 1-y follow-up.

resultsOf 56 patients enrolled, 52 children were included in the study. The median (IQR) age at presentation was 8 (4-11) y. Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) was the most common variant (50%) in the study. At discharge, all the children had GBSDS ≥ 2, with 51.9% (27/52) patients at 6-mo follow-up, and 19.2% (10/52) had GBSDS ≥ 2 at 1-y follow-up, signifying the need for assistance. On ONLS assessment, 46.2% (24/52) had an arm score of > 2, and 86.5% (45/52) had a leg score of > 2 at discharge. At 6-mo follow-up, 26.9% (14/52) had an arm score > 2, and 19.2% (10/52) had a leg score > 2. At 1-y follow-up, 7.7% (4/52) had an arm score of > 2, and 9.7% (5/52) had a leg score > 2. There was no mortality in the index study.

conclusionsThough most children with GBS recover completely, there can still be long-term impairments of fine motor movements required for daily activities. Early recognition and monitoring of persistent motor deficits as long-term sequelae of GBS is of utmost importance to improve the quality of life of these children.
