Understanding Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and Its Impact on Quality of Life: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common vestibular disorder characterized by brief episodes of vertigo triggered by specific head movements. Despite its short duration, BPPV significantly impacts the quality of life. A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, was performed to gather peer-reviewed articles, clinical trials, and review articles published between 2014 and 2024. Keywords used in the search included "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo," "BPPV," "vestibular disorders," "quality of life," "diagnosis," and "treatment." Eleven articles were included in the systematic review. Tools such as the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) are reported to assess the impact of BPPV on quality of life. This review includes 11 articles focusing on quality of life outcomes in BPPV patients. This systematic review explores the various dimensions of quality of life affected by BPPV and the tools used to evaluate these effects. BPPV can lead to physical limitations, such as difficulty in performing daily activities, and psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Socially, BPPV can cause social withdrawal and isolation due to the fear of experiencing vertigo in public. Occupationally, BPPV can interfere with job-related tasks. Future research should focus on developing personalized treatment approaches and patient-reported outcome measures specific to BPPV. A comprehensive approach to BPPV management is essential for improving the quality of life of affected individuals.
