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
STUDY
objectivesWe investigated the diagnostic role of vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) in detecting potential damage to the otolithic organs and brainstem in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and evaluated the effect of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on the vestibular system through VEMP measurements.
methodsThis single-center, prospective study included 51 patients with severe OSAS (102 ears) and 20 controls without OSAS (40 ears). Cervical and ocular VEMP tests were administered to both groups. For patients with OSAS, VEMP tests were repeated after 3-month continuous positive airway pressure therapy. Pre- and posttreatment VEMP data were compared between the groups.
resultsPatients with OSAS had significantly lower response rates of both ocular and cervical VEMP compared to controls (
conclusionsSubclinical abnormalities in otolithic organs and the brainstem in severe OSAS could be detected early using noninvasive VEMP testing. VEMP tests also revealed that a 3-month continuous positive airway pressure therapy ameliorated these vestibular system abnormalities. CITATION: Arslan İ, Güneş M, Selçuk ÖT, Eyigör H.
