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.

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.

Abstract

objectivesTo compare the effect of a high-speed barbecue maneuver with the modified Lempert maneuver and sham in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) of the horizontal canal.

methodsRandomized sham-controlled, single blinded multicenter clinical trial in two university hospitals investigating consecutive patients with horizontal canal BPPV.Patients were randomly assigned to high-speed barbecue (HSB), modified Lempert maneuver (ML), or sham maneuver (SM). All treatments were performed in a biaxial rotational chair with weekly follow-up to a maximum of three treatment sessions. The final follow-up was 3 months after the last treatment.

resultsPrimary outcome: 2-week recovery rate per protocol. Secondary outcome: Cumulative recovery rate and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scores after 3 months per protocol (HSB and ML) and intention to treat (all groups).Fifty-four patients were analyzed after 2 weeks (HSB = 17; ML = 20; SM = 17). Two-week recovery rate was 14/17 after HSB, 11/20 after ML, and 4/17 after SM, with significantly better recovery in HSB [OR 15.17, 95% CI (1.85, 124.63),

conclusionVelocity change in horizontal canal BPPV treatment gives a faster initial recovery. Rapid recovery could reduce the disease burden.
