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

objectiveSeveral studies have investigated the efficacy of VEMP (vestibular evoked myogenic potential) in patients with vestibular disorders and BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). However, previous data were inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in latency, amplitude P1-N1, asymmetry ratio (AR), and cervical/ocular-VEMP values between BPPV patients and healthy controls.

methods125 healthy subjects and 42 BPPV patients were prospectively enrolled in the study. In both groups, c/oVEMP tests with 500 Hz tone-burst stimuli were performed. Latencies P1, N1 peaks, and corrected amplitudes (CA) were measured, and AR was calculated.

resultsin the BPPV group, 14.29% of patients lacked oVEMPs that recovered after therapy. N1 latencies were significantly elongated, and 50% of patients had pathological AR; this value normalized at follow-up sessions. In addition, there was a reduction in CA in the pathologic ear compared to healthy ears (

conclusionWe identified several abnormal c/oVemp values in BPPV patients compared with healthy controls, with most changes in values occurring in oVEMPs, suggesting that utricular dysfunction may be more common than saccular. In addition, patients with oVEMP alteration showed later clinical recovery, suggesting a possible prognostic role of the test.
