Evaluation of endolymphatic hydrops using 3-T MRI after intravenous gadolinium injection.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Aim of this work is to establish evaluation criteria for identifying endolymphatic hydrops in the vestibule and cochlea using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. This is a retrospective diagnostic study. We evaluated 70 ears of 35 unilateral Ménière's disease patients. We performed 3-T MRI 4 h after intravenous gadolinium injection. Otologists manually traced the outline of vestibule, cochlea, and endolymphatic space of the vestibule and cochlea on two-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (2D-FLAIR) images. The traced area was measured, and rates of endolymphatic space to the vestibule and cochlea were calculated. The same otologists judged whether the low signal intensity area of the cochlea was at the edge of the cochlea. For measuring the rate of endolymphatic space to the vestibule, when the cut-off value was 30%, the presence of endolymphatic hydrops was determined with sensitivity of 87.1% and specificity of 94.3%. In contrast, the rate of endolymphatic space to the cochlea produced low accuracy. Therefore, when the presence of endolymphatic hydrops in the cochlea was judged by whether the low signal intensity area in the cochlea was at the edge of cochlea, endolymphatic hydrops could be detected with sensitivity of 91.4% and specificity of 94.3%. We were able to identify endolymphatic hydrops in the vestibule when the rate of endolymphatic space to the vestibule was greater than 30%, and could detect endolymphatic hydrops in the cochlea when a low signal intensity area was located at the edge of the cochlea in 2D-FLAIR images. Level of evidence 4.
