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

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the clinical safety and effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation training in the treatment of vertigo.

methodsPatients with vertigo were randomly divided into an experimental group (51 cases) or a control group (51 cases) and were treated for 4 weeks. The Berg balance scale scores (BBS), the vestibular symptom index (VSI) scores, the balance experiment scores, the UCIA vertigo scores, and the vertigo symptom changes before and after the treatment were recorded, and the treatment success was investigated. At the same time, the patient satisfaction scores and the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) scores were recorded, and the quality of life after the treatment was evaluated.

resultsAfter four weeks of treatment, the BBS, VSI, balance test, and UCIA vertigo scores in the experimental group were higher than the corresponding scores in the control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the total effective rate and the patient satisfaction in the experimental group were higher than they were in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the total index and sub-indexes of the DHI (DHI-P (physical), DHI-F (function), and DHI-E (emotion)) in the experimental group were significantly improved, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The BBS, VSI, balance test, and UCIA vertigo scores in the two groups after the treatment were better than they were before the treatment (P<0.05).

conclusionCompared with drug therapy alone, vestibular rehabilitation training combined with common drug therapy can significantly improve the patients' quality of life, better eliminate their vertigo symptoms, and improve their satisfaction.
