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

introductionIt is unknown whether prodromal dizziness (PD) before an attack of vestibular neuritis (VN) has an association with peripheral vestibular lesions. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the severity of vestibular dysfunction has an association with the presence of PD.

methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 88 consecutive unilateral VN patients with unilateral canal paresis in caloric testing. Caloric test, cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential test to air-conducted sound (ACS cVEMP), ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential test to bone-conducted vibration (BCV oVEMP) and video head impulse test (vHIT) were used as vestibular function tests. Binomial logistic regression analyses were performed to see whether the subjects' age, sex, disease duration or the presence of PD is associated with the presence of vestibular dysfunction.

resultsSeventeen (19%) experienced an episode of PD. There was no significant association between the presence of PD and abnormality in ACS cVEMPs, BCV oVEMPs, vHIT for the posterior semicircular canal (SCC) or vHIT for the lateral SCC. The presence of PD had a significant positive association with abnormality in vHIT for the anterior SCC (ASCC) (p = 0.0248).

conclusionsThe presence of PD in VN may be associated with the peripheral vestibular lesion.
