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

Purpose: This study aimed to examines the long-term trend of incidence of peripheral vestibular disorders between 2010 and 2018 in Taiwan. Methods: Study-eligible patients were identified from Taiwan's Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 maintained by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in Taiwan. We retrieved 230,566 patients with a first-time diagnosis of peripheral vestibular disorders between 2010 and 2018. We calculated annual incidence rates of peripheral vestibular disorders per 100,000 population. We used the annual percent change (APC) to test the trend of peripheral vestibular disorders over time. Results: The mean annual incidence rate of peripheral vestibular disorders during the study period was 1489.6 per 100,000 population. Incidence showed a statistically significant steady decrease from 2010 to 2018 with a mean APC of -6.15% (95% CI = -6.97% ~ -5.32%). The decline was led by Meniere's disease (APC = -9.83, 95% CI = -10.66% ~ -8.99%), followed by benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (APC = -3.69, 95% CI = -4.53% ~ -3.03%), vestibular neuritis (APC = -7.85, 95% CI = -8.96 ~ -6.73), and other peripheral vestibular dizziness (APC = -5.56, 95% CI = -6.69% ~ -4.43%). Conclusion: The incidence of peripheral vestibular disorders, overall, and the four major subgroups, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis, and other peripheral vestibular dizziness, all decreased substantially, year by year within the 2010-2018 period.
