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

purposeVestibular impairments have been associated with a variety of cognitive deficits, most notably deficits in visuo-spatial memory. The Neuropsychological Vertigo Inventory (NVI) was developed to measure self-reported cognitive deficits in patients with dizziness and/or vertigo. The original French language version of the NVI includes 28 items and 7 subscales. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether the statistical assessment of an English language version supported the presence of the same cognitive constructs as the French version of the NVI.

methodThe English language adaptation of the NVI (referred to here as the NVIe) was administered to an unselected sample of 280 patients that were being evaluated for dizziness and/or vertigo in a tertiary care dizziness clinic. The individual item scores from the NVIe were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis (EFA).

resultsThe results of the data analysis supported a 22-item NVIe consisting of 4 constructs: affective state, temporal memory, spatial memory, visual spatial cognition.

conclusionsThe NVIe is a new tool for screening cognitive constructs that may be affected by vestibular impairments. Prior to clinical implementation of the NVIe, additional studies of reliability and convergent validity are needed.
