MRI Inner Ear Imaging and Tone Burst Electrocochleography in the Diagnosis of Ménière's Disease.
Article in Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
objectiveTo compare the sensitivity of gadolinium MRI inner imaging with tone burst electrocochleography (EcochG) for diagnosing endolymphatic hydrops. STUDY
designA prospective study on patients who were to have an MRI scan to exclude retrocochlear pathology.
settingTertiary care center. PATIENTS: One hundred and two patients: 57 patients with Possible, Probable, or Definite Ménière's Disease, 25 with asymmetrical hearing loss, 18 with sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and 2 with unilateral tinnitus had additional MRI inner ear imaging and click and tone burst stimulus EcochG testing.
interventionDiagnostic.
main outcome measureTo compare the sensitivity of the two techniques.
resultsIn 30 patients with symptom-based Definite Ménière's Disease, tone burst EcochG was positive in 25 (83%) and the click EcochG was positive in 9/30 (30%), and gadolinium MRI imaging diagnosed hydrops in 14 (47%). A positive result for either MRI imaging or tone burst EcochG was seen in 26 patients (87%). In 14 subjects with symptom-based Probable Ménière's Disease, 10 (71%) had either a positive EcochG or MRI. In 13 with Possible Ménière's Disease, four (31%) had a positive EcochG or MRI.
conclusionThis study confirms the greatly enhanced diagnostic sensitivity of tone burst EcochG over click response in diagnosing endolymphatic hydrops in Ménière's disease. Even though adequate MRI imaging was achieved in 90%, tone burst EcochG was a more sensitive test.
