Epley's Manoeuvre: A Single Line Treatment for Posterior Semicircular Canal Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is the commonest cause of peripheral vertigo. Displaced free floating otoconia in the semicircular canals are responsible for brief attacks of vertigo and nystagmus. Epley's manoeuvre relocates these particles into the utricle. Here we studied the efficacy of Epley's manoeuvre in posterior semicircular canal BPPV without labyrinthine sedatives. 120 patients presented with positional vertigo were included in the study based on positive Dix- hallpike test from August 2018 to July 2019. These patients were treated with only the Epley's manoeuvre and followed up for 6 months. Patients who were previously on labyrinthine sedatives were advised to stop them and treated with only the Epley's manoeuvre. In our study of 120 patients, mean age was 43.5 yrs. Females (52.5%) were commonly affected. Left side posterior semicircular involvement was more than the right side. Epley's manoeuvre had 90% efficacy at 1
