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

Vestibular paroxysmia (VP) is a rare condition. The pathogenesis is linked to a neurovascular conflict (NVC) between an abnormal arterial loop and the VII/VIII cranial nerve complex in the cerebello-pontine angle. Due to its rarity, intraoperative findings are only anecdotally reported. Here we reported on a case of VP, showing the radiological images and the intraoperative surgical video of microvascular decompression (MVD). Further we discussed our findings considering the pertinent literature. We think that in case of VP the concordance between the side of tinnitus/hypoacusia and the side of NVC on magnetic resonance imaging should be always looked for before considering MVD as a therapeutic option.
