Prevalence of Vestibular Disorders in Independent People Over 50 That Experience Dizziness.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
People aged over 50 are the most likely to present to a physician for dizziness. It is important to identify the main cause of dizziness in order to develop the best treatment approach. Our goal was to determine the prevalence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and peripheral and central vestibular function in people that had experienced dizziness within the past year aged over 50. One hundred and ninety three community-dwelling participants aged 51-92 (68 ± 8.7 years; 117 females) were tested using the clinical and video head impulse test (cHIT and vHIT) to test high-frequency vestibular organ function; the head thrust dynamic visual acuity (htDVA) test to test high-frequency visual-stability; the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) to measure the impact of dizziness; as well as sinusoidal and unidirectional rotational chair testing to test low- to mid-frequency peripheral and central vestibular function. From these assessments we computed the following measures: HIT gain; htDVA score; DHI score; sinusoidal (whole-body; 0.1-2 Hz with 30°/s peak-velocity) vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and phase; transient (whole-body, 150°/s
