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
Dizziness is one of the most common complaints in Germany which leads to medical consultation. Diagnosis is based on patient history, clinical examination and laboratory tests. In order to find or exclude a vestibular lesion, methods such as caloric irrigation, rotational chair tests or vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials were previously applied. Recently, a new diagnostic tool has been made available for application in daily practice: the video head impulse test (vHIT). Due to the easy and fast application for the examiner, good tolerance by the patient and high sensitivity for vestibular lesions, the vHIT has the potential to improve the diagnosis and therapy of patients suffering from vertigo in widespread medical care in Germany. This article reports on experiences with this new method after examination of over 1,500 patients in the academic vertigo centre in Lübeck. The principles and application of the vHIT in daily clinical routine are described and the many advantages but also some pitfalls are highlighted. As a consequence of a wider clinical use it is expected that the vHIT will lead to an increased detection of vestibular dysfunctions not only in clinically suspected vestibular diseases but also in other common neurological diseases (e.g. polyneuropathy or cerebellar ataxia). This may change the prevalence of different vestibular diseases, broaden knowledge about other common diseases with gait imbalance as the leading symptom and provide a quantitative measure that can be used to longitudinally assess the effects of therapeutic interventions.
