The spectrum of acute vestibular neuropathy through modern vestibular testing: A descriptive analysis.
Article in Clinical neurophysiology practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectiveAcute vestibular neuropathy (AVN), often referred to as vestibular neuritis, is a cranial neuropathy responsible for a significant proportion of cases of acute vertigo. This study describes the spectrum of lesion patterns in AVN as identified by video head impulse testing (vHIT) which assesses the high frequency vestibulo-ocular reflex function of the semicircular canals, and cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) which assess otolith function.
methodsWe used vHIT and VEMPs to assess 35 patients with vestibular neuropathy in the acute stage.
resultsUnilateral superior division vestibular nerve involvement was the most common variant (57.1%), followed by unilateral superior and inferior division (28.5%), bilateral superior division (8.5%) and unilateral inferior division (5.7%). We observed a partial inverse correlation between the proportion of afferent fibers from an organelle, and the likelihood that the test of that organelle's function will be abnormal.
conclusionvHIT and VEMPs provide more detailed characterization of lesion pattern in AVN than caloric testing. SIGNIFICANCE: Comparison of lesion patterns from neuro-physiological testing with what is known about the proportional distribution of afferent fibers from the vestibular end-organelles suggests a new, neuro-anatomically based insight regarding susceptibility of these pathways to AVN.
