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.

2 · The registry

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

Operative measures are considered when medical treatment fails to control vertigo in patients with intractable Ménière disease. The present report discusses a case in which triple semicircular canal occlusion was performed in a 30-year-old female patient who responded poorly to previously performed endolymphatic sac surgery. Her vestibular and auditory functions were evaluated both before and after surgery. Class A control of vertigo was achieved during the 76-month postoperative follow-up period. Ocular and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials could be elicited before and after surgery. This case suggests that relatively long-term preservation of otolithic function can be achieved following triple semicircular canal occlusion, highlighting its potential as an alternative treatment for patients with Ménière disease.
