Upbeat nystagmus: a clinical and pathophysiological review.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Finding a vertical nystagmus, especially when looking straight ahead, should alert the neurologist/neuro-otologist for other signs of cerebellar or brainstem dysfunction. Upbeat nystagmus (UBN) is a relatively uncommon neuro-otological finding that clinicians may encounter in patients presenting with vertigo. This phenomenon is closely linked to central vestibular dysfunction, making it essential for healthcare providers to recognize and interpret it promptly. Accurate identification of UBN can significantly aid in directing patients toward the appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic pathways. As our understanding of UBN's pathophysiology has advanced, the clinical significance of this sign has become increasingly evident. It is now recognized that UBN can occur as an isolated finding or more frequently as part of a broader spectrum within defined clinical syndromes. This expanded knowledge has also opened the door to various therapeutic approaches tailored to the underlying cause. In our study, we want to provide as accurate a picture as possible about the origins and clinical presentations of UBN.
