Dizziness handicap and clinical characteristics of posterior and lateral canal BPPV.
Observational study 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, 2019.

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
purposeBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is diagnosed and divided into subtypes based on positioning vertigo and nystagmus. Whether these subtypes entail any significant differences in patient-reported symptoms; is yet not known. Such differences may have clinical and therapeutic consequences. Our aim was to assess dizziness handicap and clinical characteristics of posterior and lateral canal BPPV.
methodsThis prospective observational multicentre study analysed consecutive patients with BPPV, confirmed by standardized procedures including videonystagmography under diagnostic manoeuvres in a biaxial rotational chair. Patients were screened for other neurological and otological disorders. OUTCOMES: Dizziness handicap inventory (DHI), posterior vs. lateral canal involvement. FACTORS: age, gender, positional nystagmus intensity (maximum slow-phase velocity), symptom duration, 25-hydroxyvitamin D-level and traumatic aetiology.
results132 patients aged 27-90 (mean 57, SD 13) years were included. Higher DHI scores were associated with lateral canal BPPV [95% CI (1.59-13.95), p = 0.01] and female gender [95% CI (0.74-15.52), p = 0.03]. Lateral canal BPPV was associated with longer symptom duration [OR 1.10, CI (1.03-1.17), p = 0.01] and lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D-levels [OR 0.80, CI (0.67-0.95), p = 0.03]. There was no correlation between DHI scores and nystagmus intensity.
conclusionsThis study suggests that patients with lateral canal BPPV have increased patient-perceived disability, lower vitamin D-levels and longer duration of symptoms. This subtype might therefore require closer follow-up. Patient-perceived disability is not related to positional nystagmus intensity.
