Otolithic and canal functions assessment during the acute phase of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeAssess otolith and canal involvement in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) during the acute phase.
methodsNinety patients with BPPV in the acute phase underwent a vestibular assessment that included an assessment with videonistagmography, video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) to evaluate horizontal and vertical semicircular canals, and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMPs) for the otolithic function.
resultsNinety patients had an involvement of the posterior canal, fifty-five out of ninety patients presented a BPPV of the right ear. No asymmetry of the otolithic functions was found for the utricular macula. Furthermore, no reduction of the Vestibular Ocular Reflex gain was found for the examined canal functions.
conclusionsThe lack of asymmetry suggests that during the acute phase of BPPV, the otolithic function is balanced between the affected and unaffected ears. Moreover, the preserved VOR gain for the examined canal functions suggests that the VOR responses for the examined channels were intact.
