Impaired vestibular function associated with orthostatic hypotension in patients with multiple system atrophy.
Article in Journal of neurology, 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
backgroundOrthostatic hypotension (OH) is one of the most common symptoms in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Vestibular system plays an important role in blood pressure regulation during orthostatic challenges through vestibular-sympathetic reflex. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between vestibular function and OH in patients with MSA.
methodsParticipants with MSA, including 20 with OH (mean age, 57.55 ± 8.44 years; 7 females) and 15 without OH (mean age, 59.00 ± 8.12 years; 2 females) and 18 healthy controls (mean age, 59.03 ± 6.44 years; 8 females) were enrolled. Cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs and oVEMPs) tests were conducted to evaluate vestibular function.
resultsPatients with MSA presented with significantly higher rate of absent cVEMPs (57.1% vs 11.1%, p = 0.001) and oVEMPs (25.7% vs 0, p = 0.021) than controls. MSA patients with OH showed more absent cVEMPs (75.0% vs 11.1%, Bonferroni corrected p < 0.001) and oVEMPs (40.0% vs 0, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.003) than controls. Patients with OH also showed higher rate of absent cVEMPs than those without OH (33.3%, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.014).
conclusionsOur results demonstrated that impairment of vestibular function was associated with MSA, particularly in those with OH. Absent VEMPs may be a potential marker for MSA severity. Our findings suggest that impaired vestibular function is involved in OH development and may serve as an intervention target.
