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

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a leading cause of acute flaccid paralysis and has been associated with several arboviral infections. It is an acute immune-mediated polyradiculo-neuropathy characterised by rapidly progressive limb weakness, areflexia, and variable cranial nerve involvement. Antecedent infections are reported in the majority of patients, most commonly gastro-intestinal or respiratory. In recent years, arboviruses such as Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika have emerged as important infectious triggers of GBS, particularly in tropical regions. Zika virus infection is often asymptomatic or presents with non-specific febrile illness, making it likely to be under-diagnosed in endemic settings.
