1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeMR imaging was used to visualize the vestibular and cochlear endolymphatic hydrops in patients with Meniere's disease (MD). The relationship between the degree of hydrops and clinical characteristics, audiovestibular function, anxiety and depression state in MD patients.

methods70 patients with definitely or probably unilateral Meniere's disease received bilateral intratympanic gadolinium administration and MR scanning. The degree of bilateral vestibular and cochlea hydrops were analyzed and evaluated by three-dimensional real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) sequence, and the correlation between the grades of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and disease course, vertigo grading assessment, the duration of vertigo, hearing loss level, caloric test, vestibular myogenic evoked potential (VEMP), electrocochleogram (EcoG), vertigo disability scale (physical, emotional, functional), anxiety and depression scale were studied.

resultsIt was found that the vestibule and cochlea EH of the affected and the contralateral ear had different degrees of hydrops and there was no statistical difference between the left and right vestibules. The degree of vestibule EH (V-EH) was significantly positively correlated with the degree of cochlear EH (C-EH). C-EH and hearing loss level were positively correlated with EcoG. There was positive correlation between vestibular EH and hearing loss level, VEMP, caloric test, disease course or vertigo duration. There was a negative relationship between Dizziness Handicap Inventory (Emotion) (DHI(E)) and VEMP. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were positive correlated with DHI(E) and DHI total scores in MD patients.

conclusionEndolymph-enhancing MRI was used as an important imaging method for the diagnosis of labyrinthine hydrops in Meniere's disease. There were certain correlation between EH and the degree of vertigo attack, hearing loss level, vestibular function, and further changes in anxiety and depression emotion.
