Review in Journal of neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05192564 (Supervised Exercise as an Adjuvant Program in People With Chronic Bilateral or Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction), which is not on this map. Cited by 31 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Gaze stabilisation exercises are a mainstay of vestibular rehabilitation (VR). They are frequently prescribed to patients with vestibular hypofunction with the aim of improving the gain of the vestibular ocular reflex, improving visual acuity during head movement, and reducing the symptoms of dizziness and vertigo. This review will examine current evidence that has evaluated the efficacy of gaze stabilisation exercises on VOR gain, dynamic visual acuity and oscillopsia. In addition, recent experimental studies that have employed digital technologies and newer forms of gaze stabilisation exercises will be reviewed. The implications for future clinical practice and research in the area of VR will be discussed.
