1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

Cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by an illusory sensation of motion and disequilibrium secondary to neck pathologies. Reported here is the case of a 40-year-old male presented with neck pain, dizziness, and aural symptoms in the past 12 months. The patient was previously diagnosed with Meniere's disease and treated with a low-sodium diet, betahistine and vestibular rehabilitation for 4 months, but the symptoms had not been relieved. Subsequently he sought out chiropractic evaluation. Radiographic clues illustrated a subtle anterolisthesis of the occiput on the cervical spine, manifested by a dissociation of the clivo-axial angle (CXA). After exclusion of other neurological, vascular and vestibular causes, craniocervical instability was considered as the cause of the CGD. He was treated with multi-component intervention consisting of spinal manipulation, intermittent motorized traction and ultrasound therapy to release cervical complaints. The patient reported salutary consequences to the 3-month treatment course with no neurologic sequelae. The current study serves as a vivid example of identifying CGD based on a subtle radiographic clue and by utilizing CXA as an assessment tool for craniocervical instability.
