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
The vestibular atelectasis (VA) is a very rarely reported clinical and radiological condition characterized by the collapse of the labyrinthine membrane. Clinical features include symptoms which mimic endolymphatic hydrops; bilateral forms are rarely reported in the literature. Tullio's sign was reported in a few cases. In this paper, we report an original case of bilateral fluctuating VA associated with a rare posterior semicircular canal (SSC) dehiscence variant. A 54-year-old patient presented with evolving and fluctuating bilateral vestibulopathy associated with a pressureinduced nystagmus. Vestibular assessment revealed a bilateral vestibulopathy affecting low and mid velocities, with fluctuating high-velocity impairment. Exploration of the otolithic system showed preserved saccular activity and an absence of utriculo-ocular response. Radiological evaluation demonstrated bilateral VA and a dehiscence of the right posterior SSC. We provide clinical elements to better understand this entity, and propose a new hypothesis for the presence of a previously reported Tullio sign in VA.
