Clinical efficacy of vestibular assessment and rehabilitation training in peripheral vestibular vertigo.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of vestibular assessment and rehabilitation training in patients with peripheral vestibular vertigo. Method: This was a retrospective study. A total of 169 patients diagnosed with peripheral vestibular vertigo, admitted to Cangzhou People's Hospital between January 2020 and January 2023 were divided into control group (83 cases) and observation group (86 cases). The control group received medication-based treatment, while the observation group was provided with combined treatment of medication and vestibular rehabilitation training. Assessment of recovery included the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Vestibular Symptom Index (VSI), and Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale before and at two, four, and eight weeks post-treatment. Psychological status, sleep quality, and life quality were evaluated. Both groups underwent the Fukuda stepping test and timed balance test. Result: At two, four, and eight weeks post-treatment, both groups exhibited significantly lower DHI-P, DHI-F, DHI-E, VSI, and ABC scores compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). The observation group showed significantly lower DHI-P, DHI-F, DHI-E, VSI, and ABC scores than the control group at two and four weeks post-treatment (p<0.05). After treatment, both groups demonstrated reduced body deviation angles and increased time without falling in the Fukuda stepping test (p<0.05). Notably, the observation group had significantly better outcomes (p<0.05). Conclusion: In comparison to medication-based treatment alone, a combined approach involving medication treatment and vestibular rehabilitation training may demonstrate early improvements in vertigo symptoms, enhance balance capabilities, and ameliorate psychological well-being, sleep quality, and overall quality of life for patients.
