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
introductionThis study evaluates the effectiveness of combining the Epley Maneuver with the Dizzy-Fix Training Device in treating Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), aiming to enhance treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 50 patients diagnosed with posterior canal BPPV were allocated into two groups: one receiving the traditional Epley Maneuver and the other undergoing the Epley Maneuver supplemented with the Dizzy-Fix Training Device. Key measures included the proportion of symptom-free patients at one month, changes in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) scores, the recurrence rate within one month, and patient satisfaction.
resultsThe Dizzy-Fix group achieved a significantly higher symptom resolution rate by day 7 (90% vs. 60%) and reported greater patient satisfaction (4.5/5 vs. 3.8/5) compared to the Epley Maneuver alone group. Additionally, this group exhibited a more substantial decrease in DHI scores (from an average of 30 to 5) and a lower recurrence rate (10% vs. 40%) within the first month post-treatment.
conclusionIncorporating the Dizzy-Fix Training Device with the Epley Maneuver significantly improves the management of BPPV, evidenced by faster symptom resolution, enhanced patient satisfaction, and reduced symptom recurrence. These findings underscore the value of integrating real-time visual feedback technologies in vestibular rehabilitation, promising better patient outcomes, and advancing the quality of care in BPPV treatment.
