Bone conducted vibration is an effective stimulus for otolith testing in cochlear implant patients.
Article in Journal of vestibular research : equilibrium & orientation, 2022. 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
backgroundTreatment with a cochlear implant (CI) poses the risk of inducing a behaviorally unmeasurable air-bone gap leading to false negative absence of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs, oVEMPs) to air conducted sound (ACS).
objectiveTo investigate VEMP response rates to ACS and bone conducted vibration (BCV) in CI patients and the applicability of the B81 transducer for BCV stimulation.
methodsProspective experimental study including unilateral CI patients, measuring cVEMPs and oVEMPs to ACS and to BCV, comparing response rates, signed asymmetry ratios, latencies, and amplitudes.
resultsData of 13 CI patients (mean age 44±12 years) were analyzed. For the CI side, oVEMP and cVEMP response rates were significantly higher for BCV (77%cVEMP, 62%oVEMP) compared to ACS (23%cVEMP, 8%oVEMP). For the contralateral side, no difference between response rates to ACS (85%cVEMP, 69%oVEMP) and BCV (85%cVEMP, 77%oVEMP) was observed. Substantially higher asymmetries were observed for ACS (-88±23%for cVEMPs, -96±11%for oVEMPs) compared to BCV (-12±45%for cVEMPs, 4±74%for oVEMPs).
conclusionsBCV is an effective stimulus for VEMP testing in CI patients. The B81 is a feasible stimulator.
