Temporary Unilateral Caloric Vestibular Stimulation Affects Balance and Gait Control During Walking in Healthy Young Adults.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the individual differences and factors affecting balance and gait control during walking (i.e., dynamic equilibrium) in healthy young adults subjected to unilateral caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS).
methodsSixty-six participants completed questionnaires related to motion sickness. All participants were subjected to the head-up tilt test (HUT), which assesses orthostatic dysregulation, followed by inner ear stimulation with cold water (20°C) for 60 s. Subsequently, all participants performed a 6 m walking test with their eyes open.
resultsCVS resulted in horizontal nystagmus. The measured distance of sway from the centerline on the goal line ranged from 0 to 600 cm. Both motion sickness and orthostatic dysregulation (OD) were associated with the distance of sway from the centerline.
conclusionsAutonomic dysfunction affects the dynamic equilibrium and might cause individual gait differences. Further study is warranted to quantify the autonomic function and clarify individual variations in dynamic equilibrium, after unilateral CVS.
