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: To assess semicircular canal function in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using the video head impulse test (vHIT) and caloric test. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 39 patients with idiopathic BPPV who underwent both vHIT and the caloric test. Twenty-one patients had posterior BPPV (p-BPPV) and eighteen had horizontal BPPV (h-BPPV). Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and corrective saccades (CS) were analyzed in vHIT and canal paresis (CP) was calculated in the caloric test. Results: The mean VOR gain of the posterior canal in p-BPPV was 0.75 ± 0.28 on the affected side, which was significantly smaller than that on the contralateral side (0.93 ± 0.24, Conclusion: The VOR gain of vHIT in the affected canal was significantly smaller than that in the contralateral canal in p-BPPV, but not in h-BPPV. The caloric responses of the affected canal are reduced to a significantly larger extent in h-BPPV compared to p-BPPV. These results suggest that BPPV affects the semicircular canal function differently depending on which semicircular canal is involved.
