What are the views of those participating in a trial investigating acute post-traumatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo? A qualitative study.
Trial report in Brain injury, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals participating in a randomized feasibility trial exploring the management of acute post-traumatic benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), and to establish the acceptability and tolerability of BPPV assessment and treatment procedures.
methodsThis was a multi-center qualitative study nested within a wider randomized feasibility trial. Purposive sampling was used to gather a cohort of healthcare professionals and patients from three major trauma centres in London, UK. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using Framework analysis.
resultsFifteen healthcare professionals and 26 patients participated. Patients and healthcare professionals reported acute BPPV diagnosis was acceptable and practicable. However, divergence was noted regarding views of randomization. Participants proposed several research delivery and protocol modifications for a future trial, including changes to study design and outcome measures.
conclusionsHealthcare professionals and patients participating in a multi-center qualitative study felt post-traumatic BPPV was feasible and acceptable to diagnose and treat acutely. Findings from this study will enhance the content and delivery of a future trial and may assist in influencing the development of clinical practice guidelines.
