[Cervicoproprioceptive provocation of horizontal and vertical nystagmus in test subjects].
Article in HNO, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe cervico-ocular reflex (COR) has been confirmed in numerous animal experiments. On the other hand, its clinical assessment is disputed. Anteflexion and retroflexion of the head are among the main movements of the atlanto-occipital joint. We investigated whether these head movements produce neck proprioceptive stimulation in the vestibular system. SUBJECTS AND
methodWe investigated 50 students under the experimental conditions of strictly cervical provocation. The trunk was rotated, anteflexed, and retroflexed into its end positions for 60 s under video-oculographic control without changing the head-space relationship. During the cervical provocation, horizontal, vertical, or rotational nystagmus within a time window of 5-30 s after the start of the provocation was detected as a target parameter.
resultsThe results showed that, compared to the baseline, there was a significant increase in vertical and horizontal nystagmus after the cervical provocation. The horizontal nystagmus reaction, rather than the vertical, was increased significantly by the maximum trunk rotation. In addition, we found a significant amount of vertical rather than horizontal nystagmus under trunk flexion provocation.
conclusionUnder cervical provocation of test subjects, we were able to elicit horizontal and vertical nystagmus (upbeat nystagmus) via cervico-ocular roots. Due to a neck proprioceptive activation of the vestibular system we interpret our result as a "cervico-tonic provocation nystagmus".
