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

opinion statementVestibular migraine (VM) is a disorder with a spectrum of clinical presentations and among the most common causes of chronic vestibular symptoms. Some present with attacks before or during typical migraine, but many others have fluctuating or daily symptoms. While the symptoms and pathogenesis of vestibular migraine may have elements of both central and peripheral disorders, hearing loss should be absent. VM typically worsens with activity and head movements in general, and encompasses symptoms of vertigo, disequilibrium, or imbalance. While it is possible to confuse other disorders such as Meniere's disease with migraine, it is worth making the diagnosis of vestibular migraine on clinical grounds after ruling out other possible causes. For acute attack treatment, migraine-specific medications such as triptans may be effective. In patients with frequent or disabling attacks, preventive treatment is essential. Vestibular rehabilitation may be helpful as well as medications used for migraine prevention such as including propranolol, venlafaxine, topiramate, and amitriptyline. For refractory patients, use of acetazolamide or lamotrigine may be reasonable.
