A possible objective test to detect benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The role of the caloric and video-head impulse tests in the diagnosis.
Article in Journal of otology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is characterized by vertigo lasting from seconds to minutes, induced by head movements.
objectivesOur study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of the caloric vestibular and video head-impulse tests (vHIT) diagnosing the disorder.
methods68 patients suffering from posterior canal BPPV (25 male, 43 females, mean age
resultsThe Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre was only positive in 4% of this population. The CP% parameter was only pathologic in two patients, and there was no significant difference between control and BPPV patients (p = 0.76). The GA value was never under 0.8 in this population, but GA% was abnormal in 63.2%. A significant difference comparing the GA% values to the control group was seen (p = 0.034). There was no correlation detected between the CP% and GA% values in BPPV. Regarding the GA% value, 61% sensitivity and 76% specificity was seen.
conclusionThe Dix-Hallpike manoeuvre was not often positive in the non-acute phase of BPPV; therefore, objective testing is essential. The caloric test does not have clinical significance in BPPV, but vHIT can be helpful based on the GA% parameter.
