Evaluating the efficacy of vestibular rehabilitation therapy on quality of life in persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: the role of anxiety and depression in treatment outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic disorder that significantly affects the quality of life (QoL) and daily living. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) has emerged as a promising treatment option, yet its effectiveness, particularly in relation to symptom duration, anxiety, and depression, remains underexplored. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed the effect of VRT on the QoL in 188 PPPD patients, as well as the correlation between the duration of symptoms and dizziness severity and the role of anxiety and depression in the treatment response. QoL was assessed using the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D), and dizziness-related handicap using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Ninety three patients were included in the analysis. QoL was significantly improved post-VRT with a greater mean EQ-5D score (EQ-5D post-VRT 0.72; EQ-5D pre-VRT 0.61, Conclusions: This study revealed the benefit of VRT in patients with PPPD on QoL and indicates the importance of identifying and treating psychological factors to improve the success of treatment for PPPD.
