The Role of the Functional Head Impulse Test with and without Optokinetic Stimuli in Vestibular Migraine and Acute Unilateral Vestibulopathy: Discovering a Dynamic Visual Dependence.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
(1) Background: Visually induced vertigo (i.e., vertigo provoked by moving visual scenes) can be considered a noticeable feature of vestibular migraines (VM) and can be present in patients suffering from acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUV). Hypersensitivity to moving or conflicting visual stimulation is named visual dependence. (2) Methods: Visuo-vestibular interactions were analyzed via the functional Head Impulse Test (fHIT) with and without optokinetic stimulation (o-fHIT) in 25 patients with VM, in 20 subjects affected by AUV, and in 20 healthy subjects. We calculated the percentage of correct answers (%CA) without and with the addition of the optokinetic background (OB). (3) In VM groups, the %CA on the fHIT was 92.07% without OB and 73.66% with OB. A significant difference was found between %CA on the deficit side and that on the normal side in AUV, both without OB and with OB. (4) Conclusions: The fHIT results in terms of %CA with and without OB could be useful to identify the presence of a dynamic visual dependence, especially in patients suffering from VM. The difference in %CA with and without OB could provide instrumental support to help correctly identify subjects suffering from VM. We propose the use of the fHIT in clinical practice whenever there is a need to highlight a condition of dynamic visual dependence.
