Methodological aspects of testing vestibular evoked myogenic potentials in infants at universal hearing screening program.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Motor development in infants is dependent upon the function of the inner ear balance organ (vestibular organ). Vestibular failure causes motor delays in early infancy and suboptimal motor skills later on. A vestibular test for newborns and infants that is applicable on a large scale, safe and cost effective is in demand in various contexts: in the differential diagnosis of early onset hearing loss to determine forms associated with vestibular failure; in early hearing habilitation with cochlear implant, indicating the vestibular predominant side; and in the habilitation of children affected by motor skill disorders, revealing the contribution of a vestibular failure. This work explored the feasibility of cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) in conjunction with newborn universal hearing screening program. VEMP was measured after the hearing tests and was evoked by bone-conducted stimuli. Moreover, stimulus delivery was regulated by neck muscle activity, with infants rested unconstrained in their parents´ arms and with the head supported by the operator´s hand. This VEMP protocol showed a high level of feasibility in terms of test viability and result reproducibility. VEMP integrated into the newborn hearing screening program may represent a practical method for large-scale assessment of balance function in infants.
