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/
objectivesVestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) function, measured by the video head impulse test (vHIT) gains, plays a crucial role in postural stability and quality of life. Cochlear implant recipients often experience vestibular dysfunction, but its relationship with balance and patient-reported outcomes remains underexplored. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the relationship between vHIT gains and postural stability in cochlear implant recipients; (2) assess the impact of vHIT gains on quality-of-life metrics; and (3) identify key predictors of postural stability, including vHIT gains and demographic/clinical characteristics.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2023 and February 2024 and included 46 participants that comprised cochlear implant recipients and age-matched normal hearers who underwent the vHIT for lateral, anterior, and posterior semicircular canal function. Postural stability was assessed using dynamic posturography, and quality of life was measured using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Multiple linear regression and correlation analyses were performed.
resultsThe vHIT gains demonstrated significant positive correlations with postural stability, with the lateral canal showing the strongest association (r = 0.742,
conclusionsThis study highlighted the lateral semicircular canal as the primary determinant of postural stability in cochlear implant recipients, underscoring the importance of vestibular assessments in optimizing balance and functional outcomes.
