Change of gait after unilateral vestibular neuritis: a prospective longitudinal observation study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Although symptoms of unilateral vestibular neuritis (uVN) resolve spontaneously within several weeks, recovery of gait function has unclearness in gait parameter changes and mediolateral stability improvements. In addition, prospective longitudinal studies on gait parameters after uVN are lacking. This study was conducted to reveal longitudinal change of gait function after acute uVN and to help the precise rehabilitation planning. Twenty three participants with uVN and 20 controls were included. 3D gait analyses were conducted three times after uVN onset at monthly intervals. From the gait analysis data, spatio-temporal parameters, inclination angle (IA) representing the relationship between center of mass (CoM) and center of pressure (CoP) in the frontal plane, and IA variability were obtained. Time effects on gait metrics were tested. Walking speed of participants with uVN improved significantly between the 1st and 3rd tests, but they were not significantly different to that of control, even in the 1st test. The step width of participants with uVN was significantly larger than that of control in the 1st test and improved significantly in the 2nd test. Variability of IA in affected side was significantly larger than that in controls in the 1st test and improved significantly in the 3rd test compared to the 1st test. Improvement of overall gait function and mediolateral stability during gait continued after acute stage of uVN (two months from onset in this study). Rehabilitation intervention should be continued after the acute stage of uVN to enhance appropriate adaptation in gait.
