Trial report in HNO, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundTinnitus and vertigo have been studied in many ways. This led to a variety of explanations from multiple medical disciplines. The musculature of the jaw and cervical spine have also been researched in this regard. Dysfunctional musculature can trigger tinnitus and dizziness. This subtype of tinnitus is called cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus.
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of manual therapy on subject-reported, individually perceived impairment due to cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory), dizziness (Dizziness Handicap Inventory), and hypertonia of the musculature of the head and cervical spine. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a prospective randomized trial, 80 patients (40 in the intervention group/40 in the control group) were medically examined and interviewed. Afterwards, they received targeted manual therapy.
resultsAfter manual therapy, there were significant differences in the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and muscular hypertonia between the groups, all in favor of the intervention group.
conclusionManual examination and therapy proved to be effective. It should be increasingly applied in the absence of ENT pathology and suspected cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus. The role of individual muscles requires further investigation.
