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

The clinical diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is confirmed from observing the direction, intensity, and duration of nystagmus from unique head positions that advantage gravity to overcome the inertia of otoconia displaced inside the semicircular canals. This case series highlights BPPV with atypical nystagmus presentations relative to the head position. Clinicians should carefully observe symptoms and nystagmus presentations regardless of the testing position and utilize technology and rules of vestibular physiology to enhance their diagnostic acumen.
