Vitamin D Insufficiency/Deficiency in Patients with Recurrent Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to verify if (1) there is a link between hypovitaminosis D and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, (2) the number of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo relapses decreases after vitamin D supplementation; and (3) benign paroxysmal positional vertigo response to physical therapy improves after hypovitaminosis D correction.
methodsWe enrolled 26 patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and 24 subjects, who never suffered from vertigo, as a control group. All benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients underwent physical therapy, once a week, until benign paroxysmal positional vertigo resolution. All participants were subjected to a dosage of serum 25(OH) vitamin D. In patients with hypovitaminosis D, we prescribed cholecalciferol. After 3 months of therapy, all patients were asked to undergo a second dosage of serum 25(OH) vitamin D. For each patient, we counted the number of maneuvers required to resolve each episode of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo before and after vitamin D supplementation.
resultsOur results suggest that (1) there is a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the onset of BPPV and (2) hypovitaminosis correction is able to reduce both the number of patients relapsing and the number of relapses per patient.
conclusionsWe have not found a significant effect of vitamin D supplementation as regards the responsivity of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo to physical therapy.
