Initial Vestibular Function May Be Associated with Future Postural Instability in Parkinson's Disease.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundsWe aimed to understand the association between initial vestibular function examination and postural instability (PI) development in Parkinson's disease (PD).
methodsAfter screening 51 PD patients, we divided 31 patients into 2 groups based on the presence of PI at the follow-up visit and compared the clinical features and vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) variables.
resultsThe mean values of Hoehn and Yahr stage, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III, and item 30 (postural stability) of UPDRS were larger in patients with PI at a follow-up visit (
conclusionWe found that the initial VEMP test may be associated with later postural imbalance in PD, suggesting the baseline evaluation may help predict future PI occurrence. A more significant number of patients and more long-term follow-ups are likely to be required for confirmation.
