1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To explore the risk factors for recurrent benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) in postmenopausal women within 1 year of canalith repositioning procedure (CRP), and develops a risk model based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), estradiol, and calcium levels to provide early identification of high-risk groups and guide prevention and treatment strategies. Methods: Data from postmenopausal women with BPPV, diagnosed and successfully treated with CRP at five hospitals in Sichuan Province between January 2019 and January 2024, were retrospectively analyzed. Participants were divided into BPPV validation and training sets in a 3:7 ratio. Clinical data were categorized into recurrence and non-recurrence subgroups based on whether BPPV recurred after treatment. LASSO regression identified factors influencing recurrence within 1 year after CRP, and multivariate logistic regression (MLR) analysis was used to develop a risk nomogram prediction model (NPM). Results: A total of 490 patients were enrolled, with 147 in the validation set and 343 in the training sets. Among them, 151 patients (30.82%) experienced recurrenced, including 58 (30.61%) in the validation set and 106 (30.90%) in the training sets. LASSO and MLR analyses identified migraine (OR = 2.208, 95% CI = 1.278-3.817), serum calcium (OR = 0.601, 95% CI = 0.447-0.81), 25(OH)D (OR = 0.785, 95% CI = 0.713-0.864), and serum estradiol (OR = 0.820, 95% CI = 0.752-0.894) as significant factors influencing recurrence within 1 year after CRP treatment in postmenopausal women with BPPV. Conclusion: The recurrence rate of BPPV within 1 year after CRP treatment in postmenopausal women is high. Migraine, 25(OH)D, calcium, and estradiol are associated with recurrence. The risk prediction model, developed using these factors, demonstrates good discrimination and calibration. It effectively predicts the recurrence risk within 1 year after successful CRP treatment, offering practical clinical value.
