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

Meniere's Disease is a rare ear disorder that can cause severe morbidity to the patient and has no definitive treatment to date. Endolymphatic hydrops is the critical event. Though symptomatology is well understood, the exact etiology of Endolymphatic hydrops attack is still unclear. Twenty-five consecutive patients of Meniere's Disease diagnosed in the Vertigo clinic aged 12 to 70 years were included. Their allergic status was evaluated using a skin prick test. Allergic and non-allergic patients were then identified. Comparison between the two groups was made to identify the effect of allergy on the severity of symptoms using vertigo scales, Functional level scale, Dizziness handicap index, and Pure tone average staging. The prevalence of allergy among Meniere's Disease patients was 56%. The most common allergen found in our study was tyrophagus(n = 8). Polysensitization was more common(n = 12). Airborne allergens were more common than food allergens. There was no significant relationship between the severity scales and the allergen positivity status (
