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

Background: The video head impulse test (vHIT) is a valuable clinical tool that can help identify dysfunction of the semicircular canals. While in cases with semicircular canal dysfunction, both decreased vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain and corrective saccades (CS) are usually observed, there are cases which show CS despite normal VOR gain in vHIT. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients who showed CS with normal VOR gain in vHIT. Materials and methods: Among 390 patients who underwent vHIT, 51 patients (20 males and 31 females, age 31-87 years, average 61.3 years old) who showed CS with normal VOR gain unilaterally during horizontal vHIT were included. All patients had normal vHIT (normal VOR gain and absent CS) on the contralateral side.The VOR gain of vHIT, the maximum slow phase velocity in the caloric test, and the amplitude of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs and oVEMPs) were analyzed. Results: The VOR gain on the affected side (0.95 ± 0.08) was significantly smaller than that on the contralateral side (1.03 ± 0.13) in horizontal vHIT ( Conclusion: The side that showed CS with normal VOR gain in horizontal vHIT showed significantly smaller VOR gain as well as smaller caloric responses compared to the contralateral side. Having CS with normal VOR gain could be a sensitive indicator of mild dysfunction of the semicircular canals.
