Virtual reality versus optokinetic stimulation in visual vertigo rehabilitation.
Trial report in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVisual vertigo (VV) is a condition at which there is worsening or triggering of vestibular symptoms in certain visual environments with large size (full field) repetitive or moving visual patterns as shopping malls. PURPOSE: This work was designed to study effect of virtual reality and optokinetic stimulation on rehabilitation of VV.
methodA total of 60 subjects divided into 2 groups that were simply randomized by the concealed envelope method: Group I consisted of 30 VV patients underwent vestibular rehabilitation using virtual reality. Group II consisted of 30 VV patients underwent vestibular rehabilitation using optokinetic stimulation.
resultsSignificant improvement in performance in the two groups after rehabilitation with no statistically significant difference when comparing both groups.
conclusionsA combined intense rehabilitation program including OPK stimulation or VR rehabilitation combined with home-based exercises appeared to be equally effective for management of patients with VV and improving their quality of life.
