Ongoing Discrepancy Between Unilateral Meniere's Disease and Bilateral Endolymphatic Hydrops on Hydrops MRI.

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
Objective: In the era of Hydrops MRI, a clinical dilemma has emerged: while Meniere's disease (MD) is diagnosed unilaterally, Hydrops MRI demonstrates endolymphatic hydrops (EH) bilaterally. This study aims to clarify this ongoing discrepancy. Methods: Fifty-six MD patients underwent an inner ear test battery followed by 3 T Hydrops MRI. Eight unilateral MD patients with EH on both ears were classified as Group A and subdivided into Groups A1 (symptomatic EH on the affected ear, Results: Both Groups A1 and B1 showed a significantly declining sequence of abnormality rates running from audiometry, cervical, and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential tests to caloric test. However, such a declining trend was not observed in Groups A2 and B2. Significant differences in the abnormality rates of audiometry were noted in Groups A1 (88%) versus A2 (0) and Groups B1 (94%) versus B2 (27%). Four (50%) out of eight ears in Group A2 progressed to MD after a mean interval of 4 ± 2 years. Conclusion: If Hydrops MRI identifies EH in both ears of a unilateral MD patient, monitoring cochlear symptoms, hearing thresholds, and imaging findings in the opposite (unaffected) ear may help predict the progression from unilateral MD to bilateral MD. Level of Evidence: 4.
