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

objectivesThis study aimed to understand if videos of the patients' nystagmus recorded by themselves during the attacks can help in the diagnosis of Meniere's disease (MD). MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty patients (age range 32-78 years) who had vestibular attacks and hearing complaints admitted to Çukurova University Hospital Otolaryngology Department and a private office between September 2013 and January 2017 were included in this randomized clinical trial study. Two groups with 30 patients each were formed. The first group was asked to send eye-videos recorded during the attack, while the patients in the second group were followed with conventional methods. Twenty-six patients in the first group were able to send satisfactory eye movement videos; four patients were excluded due to repeated recording faults. Twenty-seven patients in the second group could be followed; three patients were lost to follow-up. The number of attacks and time needed to diagnose both groups were compared.

resultsThe video group could be diagnosed in a shorter period compared to the control group. The diagnosis was made within two attacks (38 days) in the video group and within four attacks (92 days) in the control group.

conclusionThis study shows that cell phone camera recordings of nystagmus of the patients are very helpful to diagnose MD. These recordings can also be used as an adjunct to understand the pathophysiology of the disease.
