Computational biology exposed a common pathogenic mechanism in influenza A and Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Article in PloS one, 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
Influenza virus A (H1N1) can lead to acute respiratory infection, while Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune peripheral neuropathy, which can work as a post-infectious disease. There are clinical observations showing the existence of a possible relationship between the presence of H1N1 infection and GBS disease, and therefore there could be common immunopathological pathways associated with H1N1 infection and GBS. The possible similarity between H1N1 infection and GBS was further investigated using integrated bioinformatics and systems biology approaches. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from GEO datasets related to H1N1 infection and GBS. Enrichment analysis was conducted to understand the functional roles of identified DEGs by performing GO and KEGG pathway analysis. For the interacting proteins of the common DEGs, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis helped to find out TLR4, TNF, and ITGAM as key hub genes. These hub genes might have common molecular pathways in H1N1 infection and GBS. To predict possible drug targets for treatment, analysis of interactions between hub genes and miRNAs, TFs, and related diseases was performed.
