Neuroanatomical Localization of the Vestibular Cortex: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Vertigo, a symptom of illusory movement, is caused by asymmetry of the vestibular system. The vestibular system consists of the vestibular labyrinth, cranial nerve VIII, brainstem vestibular nuclei, cerebellum, ocular motor nuclei, spinal cord, and less well-defined cerebral projections. In this day and age of artificial intelligence, machine learning, advanced imaging, and cutting-edge research in the field of neurology, the exact cortical control of vestibular function is still uncharted. A 45-year-old woman with a past medical history of labyrinthitis about 4.5 years ago (resolved) presented to hospital due to severe dizziness, emesis, and mild vertical diplopia for the past few days. Her symptom of dizziness i.e. room spinning was continuous without any postural component. MRI of the brain revealed a small stroke in the left hippocampal area, more specifically alveus of hippocampus. The patient was started on dual antiplatelet therapy and atorvastatin for secondary stroke prevention. Follow-up visit as an outpatient at one-month post hospital discharge was unremarkable without any recurrence of vertigo symptoms. We believe this may indicate that the limbic lobe has a much larger role in vestibular functioning than previously thought, and may control more vestibular operations than any other central nervous system area.
