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

purposeTo examine the concordance between cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) tuning property test results and MRI findings of endolymphatic hydrops (EH).

methodsFourteen subjects (age 24-76 years) that had been diagnosed with unilateral definite Meniere's disease (MD) (N = 8) or unilateral probable MD (N = 6) were enrolled. All of the subjects underwent cVEMP tests (using 500 Hz and 1000 Hz tone bursts), pure-tone audiometry, and gadolinium-enhanced 3 T-MRI. To examine tuning properties of cVEMP, the 500-1000 Hz amplitude ratio was calculated as the SLOPE. The results of the cVEMP tuning property test results were compared with EH-related MRI findings.

resultsEH positivity in both the cochlea and vestibule on MRI was observed in 7 of the 8 affected ears of definite MD and 3 of the 6 affected ears of probable MD, although it was only in one of the 14 unaffected ears. EH(+) or no response (NR) in cVEMP tuning property test was significantly associated with EH positivity on MRI, while EH(-) in the cVEMP tuning property test was significantly associated with EH-negativity on MRI (p = 0.0016 Fisher's exact test test).

conclusionEH(+) or NR in the cVEMP tuning property test correspond well to EH positivity in the MRI findings. The cVEMP tuning property test is useful for screening and following up EH.
