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
Vertigo is a medical condition where a person feels as if they or the objects around them are moving when they are not. Any disturbance in the functioning of vestibular organ may cause vertigo. This study aims to find the role of cervical Vestibular evoked myogenic potential in diagnosing BPPV. The study performed was a prospective study of 50 patients with the age distribution from 20 to 60 years of age, attending the OPD in ENT department of MY Hospital, Indore with complaints of Vertigo. c-VEMP test was performed. The results were evaluated to diagnose BPPV. Of all the patients with the complaints of vertigo maximum belonged to the 5th decade of life. Of all the patients, females were found to be affected more than males making the male female ratio to be 1:1.28. In our study Dix-Hallpike test was found to be positive in 38 (74%) patients. On performing cervical VEMP, 15 (30%) patients of 50 patients showed abnormal latencies and amplitudes suggesting abnormal saccular functioning on affected side. Of these 15 abnormal VEMPs, 13 patients were positive on performing Dix-Hallpike test i.e. were diagnosed to have BPPV. VEMP showed a positive correlation with Dix-Hallpike test in diagnosis of vertigo of postural origin and thus can be used as a diagnostic tool for BPPV as VEMP is found to have high specificity.
