Evidence-based diagnostic use of VEMPs : From neurophysiological principles to clinical application.
Review in HNO, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundVestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) are increasingly being used for testing otolith organ function.
objectiveThis article provides an overview of the anatomical, biomechanical and neurophysiological principles underlying the evidence-based clinical application of ocular and cervical VEMPs (oVEMPs and cVEMPs). MATERIAL AND
methodsSystematic literature search in PubMed until April 2019.
resultsSound and vibration at a frequency of 500 Hz represent selective vestibular stimuli for the otolith organs. The predominant specificity of oVEMPs for contralateral utricular function and of cVEMPs for ipsilateral saccular function is defined by the different central projections of utricular and saccular afferents. VEMPs are particularly useful in the diagnosis of superior canal dehiscence and otolith organ specific vestibular dysfunction and as an alternative diagnostic approach in situations when video oculography is not possible or useful.
conclusionThe use of VEMPs is a simple, safe, reliable and selective test of dynamic function of otolith organs.
