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 an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy involving the peripheral nervous system. Autonomic dysfunctions are well-known complications of GBS and are major contributors to mortality. Autonomic dysfunctions are classically described during the acute phase of illness. In the literature, Horner syndrome as a manifestation of GBS has been reported in very few cases. Here, we describe a case of GBS with an acute presentation of flaccid paraparesis associated with unilateral Horner syndrome. Detecting the cause of acute flaccid paraparesis with unilateral Horner syndrome poses a diagnostic challenge, making it crucial for clinicians to maintain a heightened awareness for distinguishing between GBS and its variants, as well as other potential mimics.
