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

Bilateral vestibulopathy is a clinical diagnosis backed by investigative confirmation, which can be masked by the lack of lateralising signs. It has a broad aetiological spectrum including neurodegenerative conditions, though many such cases also have unknown aetiology. We present the case of an elderly gentleman who presented with progressive bilateral vestibulopathy nearly 1.5 years prior to his eventual diagnosis of clinically probable multisystem atrophy. This case highlights the need to serially re-evaluate for parkinsonism and cerebellar signs in idiopathic bilateral vestibulopathy and raises a possibility that bilateral vestibulopathy, similar to constipation or anosmia, could be an early syndrome presaging the onset of overt extrapyramidal or cerebellar symptoms in patients with multisystem atrophy.
