Clinical profile and predictors of guillain-barre syndrome associated pneumonia: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC neurology, 2026. 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
backgroundPneumonia is a serious complication in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) patients, associated with increased mortality, yet its risk factors remain underexplored.
methodsOur study analyzed clinical factors linked to pneumonia in GBS patients through a retrospective review of 101 individuals admitted to Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on pneumonia development after admission: GBS with pneumonia (n = 19) and GBS without pneumonia (n = 82). Clinical and blood parameters were compared between the groups. Logistic regression analysis identified predictive factors for pneumonia in these GBS patients.
resultsSignificant associations were found between pneumonia and older age (P = 0.01), bulbar palsy (P = 0.017), mechanical ventilation (MV) support (P < 0.01), hypoalbuminemia (P < 0.01), hyponatremia (P < 0.01), and underlying conditions (P = 0.008). Multivariate logistic regression identified bulbar palsy, MV support and hyponatremia as significant independent risk factors for pneumonia. Finally, GBS patients with pneumonia experienced longer hospital stays and worse functional outcomes.
conclusionsWe initially identified key risk factors for pneumonia in GBS, highlighting its association with poorer prognoses.
