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

backgroundCervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) are predominantly ipsilateral, myogenic responses originating from saccular activation. Some individuals have contralateral-crossed cVEMP responses with monaural air-conducted stimulation (ACS) which can contaminate cVEMP responses with bilateral stimulation. While the origin of the contralateral-crossed response is under debate, its presence has implications for cVEMP testing with midline bone conduction vibration (BCV). PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the origin of the contralateral-crossed cVEMP response. It was hypothesized that the crossed response is due to electrode contamination and would disappear with a modified electrode montage. RESEARCH

designThis is a cross-sectional research study. STUDY SAMPLE: Fifteen healthy participants (30 ears; mean age: 27.4 19-39; 10 females). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Participants completed cVEMP testing using three stimulation methods (monoaural ACS, binaural ACS, and midline BCV) and two electrode montages (sternum reference and Fp reference).

resultsIn the monoaural ACS with sternum reference condition, 53.3% ears had contralateral-crossed cVEMP responses that were in-phase with the ipsilateral response for all but three ears. Whereas in the monoaural ACS with Fp reference condition, 3% had a contralateral-crossed cVEMP response. ACS and BCV cVEMP corrected amplitudes were significantly larger in the sternum reference conditions, which is attributed to artificial enhancement from the in-phase contralateral-crossed responses.

conclusionsThe significant reduction of contralateral-crossed responses in the Fp reference condition suggests that the contralateral-crossed cVEMP response is due to reference electrode contamination and may be a more appropriate reference placement when completing cVEMPs with midline BCV.
