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

This case demonstrates the successful identification and treatment of atypical posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) based on a unique presentation of positional nystagmus, the resultant nystagmus from repositioning manoeuvers, and restored function of the affected semicircular canal. This case illustrates the importance of completing a comprehensive clinical examination and the value for incorporating the video head impulse test as well as adjusting treatment based on testing and patient response when managing variant cases of BPPV.
