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

Vestibular neuritis (VN) can affect utricular afferents. Utricular function can be assessed by ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) whose abnormalities include weak or absent responses, and ocular cycloposition whose abnormalities include ocular torsion (OT). When studied independently in vestibular neuritis, oVEMPs are abnormal in 61-82% of cases, and OT is present in 72-80% of cases. The similar range of abnormalities suggests the hypothesis that these tests should be concordantly abnormal. We tested this hypothesis by identifying consecutive adult cases of VN in whom both oVEMPs and OT were performed. OT and oVEMP overlapped (both were abnormal) in only 47% of cases. In 40% of cases oVEMPs alone were abnormal, and in 13% of cases, OT alone was present. These results suggest that oVEMPs and OT assess different aspects of utricular function believed to arise from discrete zones of the utricular macula; the former are thought to reflect the activity of extra-striolar afferents (which detect constant acceleration), and the latter reflects the activity of striolar afferents (which detect change in acceleration).
