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

Although vestibular neuritis (VN) cortical models are described in the literature, there is lack of knowledge regarding the exclusive cerebellar involvement. The aim of the present study was to analyze, by [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/computer tomography, regional cerebellar FDG uptake in eight right-handed VN patients (five females; three males; mean age 48 ± 7 years) during the first few days (PET0) and after 1 month (PET1) since symptoms onset. At both phases, patients underwent otoneurological examination and filled in a battery of validated questionnaires. Twenty-six cerebellar volumes of interest (VOI) were identified by the automated anatomical labeling library and normalized to thalamus FDG-PET uptake. Mean intensity within VOIs was calculated in both phases and processed by within-subjects ANOVA. A significantly lower (p < 0.005) FDG uptake distribution was found in bilateral lobules III, VI and X and in vermis 1-2, 3, 6 and 10 at PET0 as compared to PET1 and a significant higher FDG uptake distribution was found in right crus I in the same comparison. Significant (p < 0.05) positive correlations were found between Anxiety and Bucket test scores, and normalized metabolism in right crus I (at PET0) and vermis 10 (at PET1), respectively. A negative correlation was found at PET0 between slow-phase velocity scores and normalized metabolism in right lobule X. These data show relevant changes in the pattern of cerebellar metabolism that might unravel additional central aspects of early and late VN associated to bilateral cortical responses to sensory conflict during the acute VN-related controversial inflow.
