Characteristics of spontaneous nystagmus and its correlation to video head impulse test findings in vestibular neuritis.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objective: To explore the direction and SPV (slow phase velocity) of the components of spontaneous nystagmus (SN) in patients with vestibular neuritis (VN) and the correlation between SN components and affected semicircular canals (SCCs). Additionally, we aimed to elucidate the role of directional features of peripheral SN in diagnosing acute vestibular syndrome. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients diagnosed with VN in our hospital between 2022 and 2023. The direction and SPV of SN components recorded with three-dimensional videonystagmography (3D-VNG) and the video head impulse test (vHIT) gain of each SCC were analyzed as observational indicators. We examined the correlation between superior and inferior vestibular nerve damage and the direction and SPV of SN components, and vHIT gain values in VN patients. Results: The median illness duration of between symptom onset and moment of testing was 6 days among the 38 VN patients (17 right VN and 21 left VN). In total, 31 patients had superior vestibular neuritis (SVN), and 7 had total vestibular neuritis (TVN). Among the 38 VN patients, all had horizontal component with an SPV of (7.66 ± 5.37) °/s, 25 (65.8%) had vertical upward component with a SPV of (2.64 ± 1.63) °/s, and 26 (68.4%) had torsional component with a SPV of (4.40 ± 3.12) °/s. The vHIT results in the 38 VN patients showed that the angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (aVOR) gain of the anterior (A), lateral (L), and posterior (P) SCCs on the ipsilesional side were 0.60 ± 0.23, 0.44 ± 0.15 and 0.89 ± 0.19, respectively, while the gains on the opposite side were 0.95 ± 0.14, 0.91 ± 0.08, and 0.96 ± 0.11, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the aVOR gain between the A-, L-SCC on the ipsilesional side and the other SCCs ( Conclusion: There is a correlation between the three-dimensional direction and SPV characteristics of SN and the aVOR gain of vHIT in VN patients. These direction characteristics can help assess different SCCs impairments in patients with unilateral vestibular diseases.
