Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials After Epleys Manoeuvre Among Individuals with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
VEMP abnormalities in individuals with BPPV are often reported to be associated with utricle and saccule degeneration. The aim of the present study is to assess the frequency of VEMP abnormalities using vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in individuals with Posterior canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) after Epley's manoeuvre. 36 individuals (36 ears) with definite posterior canal BPPV and 36 healthy controls were considered for the present study. All the them underwent otoscopic examination, Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre to diagnose posterior canal BPPV. Further Audiological Evaluation including pure tone audiometry was carried out to rule out vestibular disorders associated with hearing loss. Epley's manoeuvre was performed on all individuals with BPPV by an experienced otorhinolaryngologist. Cervical and Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) were used to investigate the saccule and utricle functions following Epley's manoeuvre. Cervical VEMP and ocular VEMP abnormalities were observed in 8/36 (22.22%) and 18/36 (50%) affected ears with BPPV respectively. Cervical VEMP responses were reduced in amplitude among 1/36 (2.77%) and absent in 7/36 (19.44%) of affected ears with BPPV. Ocular VEMP responses were reduced in amplitude on 11/36 (30.55%), followed by absent responses in 5/36 (13.88%) ears with BPPV. Two patients with posterior canal BPPV i.e., 4/64 (5.55%) ears had bilateral absence of ocular VEMP responses. Two ears with BPPV 2/36 (5.55%) had absence of both cervical and ocular VEMP responses in BPPV affected ear. T test showed significant difference (
