High-Frequency Vestibular Function Is Vulnerable to Presbyvestibulopathy.

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
introductionIn 2019, mild vestibular function deficiency in elder populations was defined as presbyvestibulopathy (PVP) by the Classification Committee of the Bárány Society. The diagnostic criteria include tests for low-, mid-, and high-frequency vestibular function, represented by caloric testing, rotary chair testing, and head impulse testing, respectively. However, there is still a lack of large-scale reports supporting the relationship between vestibular function tests (VFTs) and aging. In this study, we evaluated whether each test is correlated with aging in the elderly population aged over 50.
methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled 1043 subjects from a single university hospital database after excluding those with unilateral and bilateral vestibulopathy, central dizziness, and acute dizziness. Enrolled subjects had caloric canal paresis <20%, vHIT lateral canal gain >0.6, vHIT interaural difference <0.3, and age >50 years old.
resultsSignificant negative correlations with age were identified in the vHIT (
conclusionsThe high-frequency range vestibular function seems vulnerable to aging, and this is more discernible at age >70 years. The weak correlation between age and low-frequency vestibular function tests, such as the caloric test and low-frequency rotary chair testing, suggests the need to revisit the diagnostic criteria for PVP.
