Posture Deficits and Recovery After Unilateral Vestibular Loss: Early Rehabilitation and Degree of Hypofunction Matter.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Postural instability and balance impairment are disabling symptoms in patients with acute unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is known to improve the vestibular compensation process, but (1) its effect on posture recovery remains poorly understood, (2) little is known about when VR must be done, and (3) whether the degree of vestibular loss matters is uncertain. We analyzed posture control under static (stable support) and dynamic (unstable support) postural tasks performed in different visual conditions [eye open (EO); eyes closed (EC); and optokinetic stimulation] using dynamic posturography. Non-linear analyses of the postural performance (wavelet transform, diffusion analysis, and fractal analysis) were performed in two groups of patients with UVH subjected to the same VR program based on the unidirectional rotation paradigm and performed either early (first 2 weeks) or later (fifth to the sixth week) after vertigo attack. Distribution of the angular horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) gain values recorded on the hypofunction side before rehabilitation differentiated two distinct sub-groups (cluster analysis) with aVOR gains below or above 0.20. The postural performance of the four sub-groups of patients with UVH (early rehabilitation with aVOR gain <0.20:
