The clinical significance of fHIT in migraine patient without vertigo symptom.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the functional head impulse test on migraine patients without vertigo. fHIT is a new vestibular test which evaluates the ability to see and read clearly during head movement as a functional measurement of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 20 patients suffering from migraine without vertigo between the ages of 20 and 30-years-old who were diagnosed by a neurologist and 20 individuals with non-migraine headaches (control group), with similar demographic characteristics. The functional head impulse test was applied to both groups, and the migraine disability assessment test was applied to migraine patients.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the general fHIT results between the migraine group and the control group (p > 0.05). However, a statistically significant decrease was obtained in migraine patients in the left lateral (p = 0.018) and right posterior (p = 0.029) semicircular canals at 4000 Hz and the right anterior semicircular canal at 6000 Hz (p = 0.019). When compared by the degree of migraine disability assessment test, no significant difference in the fHIT results were observed (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe semicircular canals may be affected at high head acceleration (4000-6000 Hz) in migraine patients without a history of vertigo. It should be considered that fHIT results between 4000 and 6000 Hz in migraine patients without vertigo can be pathologic.
