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

objectivesLabyrinthitis significantly reduces quality of life due to prolonged vestibular symptoms in patients experiencing sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo (SSNHLV). This study employed a novel coherence analysis in the video head impulse test (vHIT) to explore vertigo outcomes in SSNHLV patients.

methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 48 SSNHLV patients who completed high-dose steroid treatment between December 2016 and April 2023. Additionally, 38 healthy volunteers were prospectively enrolled from November 2022 to April 2023 at our academic tertiary referral center. The magnitude-squared wavelet coherence between eye and head velocities during the vHIT was measured to assess correlations across frequency bands. Recovery from vertigo, determined by a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 0 at both 2 weeks and 2 months, was analyzed using multivariable Cox regression.

resultsThe mean VAS for patients with SSNHLV was 5.73±2.45. Higher coherent frequencies in the horizontal semicircular canal (SCC), posterior SCC, and the mean and minimal coherent frequencies of all three SCCs combined were significantly associated with early complete remission of vertigo 2 weeks posttreatment. In the multivariate analysis, the minimal coherent frequency among the three SCCs emerged as an independent factor (hazard ratio, 2.040; 95% CI, 1.776-2.304). Two months posttreatment, in addition to the previously significant parameters, abnormalities in the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in the posterior SCC, gains in the horizontal and posterior SCCs, total and overt saccades in the horizontal SCC, coherent frequency in the anterior SCC, and mean VOR gain of all three SCCs combined were also statistically significantly related to total relief from vertigo.

conclusionThe highest minimal coherent frequency among the three SCCs significantly contributed to earlier vertigo relief in patients with SSNHLV. Coherence analysis in vHIT may offer greater sensitivity than time series analysis for predicting the prognosis of vertigo.
