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

objectiveThe aim was to evaluate the value of otolith-associated protein otoconin-90 (OC90) and otolin-1 in the pathogenesis research and clinical treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). MATERIAL AND

methodThe study included 50 patients with BPPV admitted to neurology and otorhinolaryngology departments and 30 healthy subjects with no history of dizziness as a control group.

resultsBPPV and controls were similar in terms of gender and age. Otolin-1 concentration was significantly greater in the BPPV group than in the controls (710.44 [584.35-837.39] vs 280.45 [212.7-419.61];

conclusionsHigh serum concentrations of otolin-1 were associated with an increased risk of BPPV, but high concentrations of OC90 were not. Serum concentrations of otolin-1 can potentially be used as a biomarker for the acute onset of inner ear disorders due to the significant increase in patients with BPPV. Vitamin D has high specificity and sensitivity in patients with BPPV. It also provides evidence that BPPV patients with vitamin D deficiency may improve their symptoms with replacement therapy. More large-scale prospective studies are required to confirm these associations and clarify the exact mechanisms.
