Co-occurrence of Otologic Disorders and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThis systematic review was performed to investigate the co-occurrence of otologic disorders and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
methodsSearches were conducted in PubMed and Web of Science. The review included all original English-language studies-ranging from full-text clinical trials to case reports-enrolling participants aged ≥18 years. Articles were classified into two groups: group 1 comprised studies reporting otologic disorders in patients diagnosed with BPPV; group 2 comprised studies reporting instances of BPPV among patients with otologic disorders. The frequency of each condition was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model to estimate overall prevalence in both groups.
resultsThe initial search yielded 3,407 records, of which 68 articles were included in the analysis. In group 1 (19 studies), 11.4% of patients with BPPV (932/8,157) had co-occurring otologic disorders. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (present in 11.9% of patients in relevant included studies) and acute unilateral vestibulopathy/vestibular neuritis (5.0%) were most frequently reported. Meta-analysis produced pooled prevalence rates of 11.8% (95% CI, 3.1%-35.7%) for sudden sensorineural hearing loss and 6.5% (95% CI, 3.7%-11.2%) for acute unilateral vestibulopathy/vestibular neuritis. In group 2 (49 studies), 9.7% of patients with otologic disorders (1,106/11,457) experienced concurrent BPPV, with Menière's disease exhibiting the highest rate of concurrence (10.2%). Meta-analyses showed pooled prevalence rates of 10.4% (95% CI, 6.2%-16.8%) for acute unilateral vestibulopathy/vestibular neuritis and 9.1% (95% CI, 4%-19.1%) for Menière's disease.
conclusionThe co-occurrence of otologic disorders and BPPV is prevalent. These findings underscore the need for mutual clinical screening and may inform understanding of the etiologies underlying BPPV.
