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

backgroundVestibular migraine (VM) has been recognized as a diagnostic entity over the past three decades. It affects up to 1% of the general population and 7% of patients seen in dizziness clinics. It is still underdiagnosed; consequently, it is important to conduct clinical studies that address diagnostic indicators of VM. The aim of this study was to assess auditory brainstem function in women with vestibular migraine using electrophysiological testing, contralateral acoustic reflex and loudness discomfort level.

methodsThe study group consisted of 29 women with vestibular migraine in the interictal period, and the control group comprised 25 healthy women. Auditory brainstem response, frequency following response, binaural interaction component and assessment of contralateral efferent suppression were performed. The threshold of loudness discomfort and the contralateral acoustic reflex were also investigated. The results were compared between the groups.

resultsThere was a statistically significant difference between the groups in the frequency following response and the loudness discomfort level.

conclusionsThe current study suggested that temporal auditory processing and loudness discomfort levels are altered in VM patients during the interictal period, indicating that these measures may be useful as diagnostic criteria.
