Comparison of Electrocochleography and Video Head Impulse Test findings in Vestibular Migraine and Ménière Disease: A Preliminary Study.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo evaluate electrophysiological findings among patients with vestibular migraine (VM) and to compare them with those of patients suffering from definite Ménière disease (MD) without migraine. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-one consecutive patients suffering from VM were enrolled; all subjects were selected according to the criteria proposed by the Bàràny Society for Neuro-otology. Each patient underwent a careful otological and neurotological examination. After completing a questionnaire regarding migraine and vertigo complaints, they were assessed by audiometric testing, video head impulse test (vHIT), and electrocochleography (EcochG). Data were compared with those of 21 patients who fulfilled the criteria for definite MD.
results52.38% of the patients with VM suffered from at least two episodes of migraine per week, with 42.85% of the subjects complaining of migraines lasting ≥24 hours. 57.14% of the patients reported at least four episodes of vertigo per month, whereas 61.9% suffered from symptoms of chronic unsteadiness. No significant difference (p=0.76) resulted from the comparison of vHIT gain between patients with VM and MD. Eleven out of 21 patients (52.38%) with definite MD presented at least one ear with SP/AP >0.4, differently from patients with VM who exhibited SP/AP values suggestive of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in only three cases (14.28%).
conclusionThe present study found a higher proportion of abnormal EcochG in MD than in VM (p=0.02) without any significant difference in the vHIT gain. On the basis of our findings, the identification of EH in some patients with VM cannot be definitely related to the same pathway that triggers MD symptoms. Future research may help in better understanding whether abnormal EcochG findings can predict the occurrence of MD among patients with VM.
