Effect of different maneuvers of repositioning on benign paroxysmal vertigo: a network meta-analysis.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe effect of different maneuver repositioning on benign paroxysmal vertigo was explored by network meta-analysis.
methodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, and web of science databases were searched for randomized controlled studies on the effect of manipulative repositioning on benign paroxysmal vertigo from database creation to September 1, 2024, Bayesian network meta-analysis, R4.4.1 was used for data analysis.
resultsTwenty-two articles (n = 2507) were included in this study, and the results of network meta-analysis suggested the following odds ratios (OR) relative to the control group (UT): Epley maneuver (EM) vs UT [OR = 7.9, 95% CI (3.21, 23.31)]; Gufoni maneuver (GFM) vs UT [OR = 5.1, 95% CI (1.25, 21.45)]; Gans Repositioning Maneuvers (GRM) vs UT [OR = 11, 95% CI (1.65, 83.85)]; Modified Epley maneuver (MEM) vs UT [OR = 9.83, 95% CI (1.55, 64.06)]; Semont's maneuver (SM) vs UT [OR = 6.1, 95% CI (1.97, 18.46)]. The largest surface area under the cumulative ranking curve was for GRM (71.5%), followed by MEM (68%) and SEM (67.8%), and the worst was for UT (5.7%).
conclusionBased on our current findings, GRM, MEM and SEM are effective for BBPV symptoms, but due to the existence of study limitations, more high quality multicenter large sample randomized controlled studies are needed to testify to our conclusions.
