Does the Self-training in Ménière's Disease Fit the Disease Characteristics and Help Alleviate the Balance Problems?
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTo examine whether the self-initiated exercise in Ménière's disease fits the characteristics of the balance problems.
methodsThis retrospective study included 539 people with Ménière's disease belonging to the Finnish Ménière Federation. The mean age was 61.9 years with a mean history of Ménière's disease of 15.6 years. The data were collected with an online questionnaire.
resultsIn total, 30% of the patients did not do any training, 23% did training once a week, 22% did 2-3 times a week, and 26% did the training daily. The most common training exercises were different self-training exercises (26%) followed by walking (16%), guided training (15%), viewing plus balance training (10%), and viewing training (4%). Non-defined balance problems (18%) were associated with recent vertigo attacks. Swaying type of balance problems were present in 23% and they used all types of training programs. Rocking type of balance disorder was present in 8% and they preferred guided training exercises. Tripping off type of balance disorder was present in 25% and they preferred viewing plus balance training.
conclusionsThe type of self-training used was related to the type of balance problems reported. When choosing the vestibular rehabilitation in Ménière's disease , the type of balance disorder should be characterized and the rehabilitation program should be individually tailored.
