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
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate vestibular functions with video head impulse test (VHIT) and to understand the value of VHIT in differential diagnosis in patients with vestibular migraine (VM) during dizziness attack. Materials and methods: Two groups were enrolled in this study. The first consisted of 84 vestibular migraine patients, and second group of 74 healthy subjects. VHIT was applied to patients with VM during vertigo attack and the results were compared with the VHIT values applied to subjects in the control group. Results: The mean vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in all semicircular canals in the VM group was lower than healthy individuals, but the results were not statistically significant. Refixation saccades were found in 52.3% of VM patients and in 10.2% of healthy individuals. Conclusions: When patients with VM were evaluated with VHIT during vertiginous attack, VOR gain values were not different from healthy individuals, but the number of catch-up saccades were higher in VM patients, which indicates peripheral vestibular involvement. For differential diagnosis in patients with VM, vestibular tests should be performed during the vertigo attack. When evaluating VHIT results, the presence of refixation saccades should also be evaluated.
