Thirty years with cervical vestibular myogenic potentials: a critical review on its origin.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Myogenic potentials generated by acoustic stimulation of the vestibular system have been reported since 1964. This examination became better known as cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) and gained increasing clinical application since the nineties. Since its discovery, the saccule has been conceived as the most likely vestibular end-organ driving these myogenic potentials of the neck. As findings from both animal and human studies for a long time uniformly provided evidence supporting this theory, cVEMP assessment has become synonymous with evaluation of saccular and inferior vestibular nerve function. This review of the basic evidence supporting this conclusion, questions if cVEMP may be considered as being predominantly or even exclusively driven by the activation of any single vestibular end-organ. We conclude that the results of this review show that contributions from the crista ampullaris of all three ipsilateral semicircular canals, as well as the ipsilateral utricle cannot be ruled out in clinically conducted cVEMP assessments.
