Identifying key risk factors for the recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following successful canalith repositioning maneuvers: a meta analysis.
Synthesis in European journal of medical research, 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
backgroundAn increasing occurrence trend of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) after successful canalith repositioning maneuvers was observed; however, the risk elements for the occurrence of this disease remain undefined. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of BPPV occurrence-associated risk factors reported.
methodsA comprehensive search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Springer, and the Cochrane Library up to March 31, 2024. The meta-analysis was carried out with STATA 16.0. Quality evaluation of the articles was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scales (NOS). Data were pooled by a random-effects model. The meta-analysis was registered at INPLASY (202430045).
resultsSeventeen studies with 229 patients were included in the present analysis. The recurrence rate of BPPV after Canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) or Epley maneuver in subjects with hypertension [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.88,95% confidence interval (CI) (0.81-0.96), P = 0.00], Meniere's disease [SMD = 0.84, 95%CI (0.57-1.10), P = 0.00], head trauma [SMD = 0.48, 95%CI (0.34-0.63), P = 0.00], diabetes mellitus (DM) [SMD = 0.87, 95%CI (0.80-0.94), P = 0.00], advanced age [SMD = 0.18, 95%CI (0.08-0.28), P = 0.00], osteoporosis [SMD = 0.32, 95%CI (0.20-0.43), P = 0.00], female gender [SMD = 0.53, 95%CI (0.40-0.67), P = 0.00], migraine headache [SMD = 0.20, 95%CI (0.06-0.35), P = 0.01], and vitamin D deficiency [OR = 0.29, 95%CI (0.18-0.40), P = 0.00] were appreciably higher than those in patients without hypertension, Meniere's disease, head trauma, DM, advanced age, osteoporosis, female gender, migraine headache, and vitamin D deficiency.
conclusionThis meta-analysis has identified several significant risk factors associated with the recurrence of BPPV following successful canalith repositioning procedures. These include Meniere's disease, head trauma, diabetes mellitus, migraine headaches, female gender, advanced age, osteoporosis, and vitamin D deficiency.
