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

In this letter, we discuss possible alternatives and future perspectives in the therapy of Meniere's disease. Special attention should be paid to the role of dietary restrictions for glucose in patients with Meniere's disease, as there is a strong evidence about the presence of insulin receptors in the saccule, the main structure affected by pathological changes due to endolymphatic hydrops; to the possible use of endogenous antisecretory factor administered in specially processed cereals; and to the effects of low-dose intratympanic gentamicin, especially in patients with intractable Meniere's disease.
