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

Nowadays, vestibular diseases are quite common in the population and significantly impair quality of life. Additionally, a notable problem is that a certain number of patients experience psychological consequences. Therefore, it is important to investigate the connection between vestibular damage and the potential need for psychological intervention. This study aims to examine the correlation between anxiety in individuals with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorder in relation to gender, age, and the existence of acute and chronic, compensated and uncompensated, partial and complete unilateral peripheral vestibular disorder. Additionally, it was important to determine the degree of free-floating anxiety, phobia-related anxiety, obsessiveness, somatic manifestations, depression, and hysteria in these patients using the Crown-Crisp Experience Index questionnaire. The study included 54 patients, 39 (72%) female and 15 (28%) male, with an average age of 61.5 ± 13.5 years. Results showed that the majority of participants had pronounced somatic anxiety (29.6%), followed by depression (14.8%), free-floating anxiety (9.4%), phobia-related anxiety (7.4%) and hysteria (7.4%) equally represented, and obsessiveness (1.8%) being the least pronounced. Nearly all participants (94%) were diagnosed with chronic hypofunction due to presenting for examination and diagnostic processing after the acute phase of the disease had ended. To conclude, no significant differences were observed in the common symptoms or personality traits within conventional categories of psychoneurotic and neurotic symptomatology concerning gender or the presence of vestibular hypofunction.
