Guillain-Barré Syndrome Following Influenza Vaccination: Diagnostic Challenges in an Uncommon Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 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
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute, immune-mediated inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. It is currently recognized as the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis worldwide. Bilateral facial palsy with paresthesias is a well-recognized regional variant of GBS, characterized by prominent bilateral facial weakness, distal extremities paresthesias, diminished tendon reflexes, and the absence of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, or limb weakness. We present a case of a 71-year-old male with recent flu vaccination who developed bilateral facial diplegia within 24 h, accompanied by paresthesias affecting the distal extremities with patchy hypoesthesia distributed over the lower limbs. The diagnosis of GBS was established following thorough clinical evaluation, neurological examination, and laboratory findings. This case may contribute to the timely recognition of this specific variant of GBS.
