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

A girl in her early childhood presented to a regional otolaryngology outpatient clinic with classic signs of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). She reported episodic dizziness when rolling in a supine position. She did not convey any other associated audiovestibular symptoms. A bedside Dix-Hallpike test confirmed geotropic rotational nystagmus indicative of lateral canal BPPV. Due to her young age, limited communicative abilities and concerns for more sinister underlying pathology, a complete neurological examination, MRI and pure tone audiometry were performed. After two sessions of Epley's manoeuvre, she was symptom-free. At her 3-month follow-up, the patient denied any recurrent episodes of vertigo.
