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.

Abstract
purposeDiabetic neuropathy can lead to decreased peripheral sensation and motor neuron dysfunction associated with impaired postural control and risk of falling. However, the relationship between decreased peripheral sensation and impaired vestibular function in diabetes mellitus is poorly investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between peripheral and autonomic measurements of diabetic neuropathy and measurements of vestibular function.
methodsA total of 114 participants with type 1 diabetes (n = 52), type 2 diabetes (n = 51) and controls (n = 11) were included. Vestibular function was evaluated by video head impulse testing. Peripheral neuropathy was assessed by quantitative sensory testing and nerve conduction. Autonomic neuropathy using the COMPASS 31 questionnaire. Data were analyzed according to data type and distribution.
resultsMeasurements of vestibular function did not differ between participants with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or controls (all p-values above 0.05). Subgrouping of participants according to the involvement of large-, small- or autonomic nerves did not change this outcome. Correlation analyses showed a significant difference between COMPASS 31 and right lateral gain value (ρ = 0.23, p = 0.02,), while no other significant correlations were found.
conclusionDiabetic neuropathy does not appear to impair vestibular function in diabetes, by means of the VOR. CLINICAL TRIALS: NCT05389566, May 25th, 2022.
