The prediction of the tumor size of a vestibular schwannoma by clinical performance and vestibular function tests.
Article in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo investigate the relationship between vestibular schwannoma (VS) size and the dysfunction and compensation of the vestibular system.
methodsOne hundred fifty-two patients with unilateral VS were investigated using multiple auditory-vestibular function tests such as audiometry, sensory organization test (SOT), caloric test, cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) test, and ocular VEMP (oVEMP) test.
resultsIn this study, 89% of patients with unilateral VS had mild to severe hearing loss on the involved side. All patients showed higher threshold values or no response in the cVEMP and oVEMP tests, which both exhibited a lower response rate on the affected side than on the unaffected side. Patients with a tumor size ≥ 30 mm had significantly lower equilibrium scores for condition 5 and condition 6 of the SOT, which were associated with vestibular dysfunction, higher rates of canal paresis in the caloric test, and lower response rates in the cVEMP and oVEMP tests on the affected sides, compared with the results of patients with a tumor size ≤ 14 mm and patients with a tumor size of 15-29 mm.
conclusionsA diameter > 30 mm may be the critical threshold at which vestibular function is affected and vestibular compensation is interfered with by a VS tumor. Functional performance of the vestibular system can help clinicians predict the size of a tumor and provide a basis for the development of treatment protocols.
