Evaluation of the Peripheral Vestibular System in Individuals with Vision Loss.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the balance system between individuals with vision loss and a healthy control group using the video head impulse test (vHIT), cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP) and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) tests.
methodsThe study included 23 individuals diagnosed with bilateral low vision, 20 individuals diagnosed with bilateral blindness, and 50 healthy control subjects. vHIT, cVEMP, and oVEMP tests were applied to all participants to evaluate the vestibular system. In addition to the standard vHIT, 2-condition vHIT (in the dark and in daylight without a target) was performed on the control group to evaluate the effect of visual input.
resultsIn vHIT responses, a significant difference in vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gains was detected in the comparison between the bilateral low vision, bilateral blind, and control groups in all semicircular canals (SSC) (P < .001). When the vHIT responses in the 3 conditional groups of the control group (untargeted daylight, darkness, and standard) were examined, a significant difference in VOR gains was detected in the comparison of all 3 groups in the entire SSC (P < .001).
conclusionThe findings of statistically significantly low VOR gains obtained in individuals with low vision and the blind group showed the great effect of visual input on the vestibular system. This hypothesis was also supported by the results of vHIT, which was applied in 3 stages (dark, untargeted daylight, and standard) in healthy individuals.
