Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06797141 (Combined Effects of Vestibular Rehabilitation and Dual Task Training Exercises on Balance, Gait and Quality of Life in Patients With Vestibular Disorders), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

The vestibular system plays an important role in maintaining balance and posture. It also contributes to vertical perception, body awareness and spatial navigation. In addition to its sensory function, the vestibular system has direct connections to key areas responsible for higher cognitive functions, such as the prefrontal cortex, insula and hippocampus. Several studies have reported that vestibular dysfunction, in particular bilateral vestibulopathy, is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and the development of dementias such as Alzheimer's disease. However, it is still controversial whether there is a causal relationship between vestibular damage and cognitive dysfunction. In this mini-review, we will explore the relationship between the vestibular system, cognitive dysfunction and dementia, hypotheses about the hypothesis and causes that may explain this phenomenon and also some potential confounders that may also lead to cognitive impairment. We will also review multimodal neuroimaging approaches that have investigated structural and functional effects on the cortico-vestibular network and finally, describe some approaches to the management of patients with vestibular damage who have shown some cognitive impairment.
