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

Objective: To investigate the effects of self-management vestibular rehabilitation (VR) on the subjective symptoms of dizziness and postural stability in persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). Study design: Retrospective case review. Methods: The medical records of 30 patients newly diagnosed with PPPD based on the Bárány Society's diagnostic criteria were reviewed. Nineteen patients (4 males and 15 females; age range 27-84 years, mean age ± standard deviation 57.4 ± 14.2 years) who was newly instructed to self-management VR were included and instructed to perform self-management VR for 2 months. Results: One patient did not visit the outpatient clinic again, and in the remaining 18 patients, 4 (22%) discontinued VR at their own discretion. In the 12 patients who completed 2 months of VR (67%), there was a significant improvement in Niigata PPPD Questionnaire (NPQ) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scores after VR compared to those before VR ( Conclusions: For PPPD, self-management VR improved subjective symptoms of dizziness, but not stability of standing posture. It is necessary to improve patients' adherence to the treatment. Level of evidence: 4.
