Evaluation of the Peripheral Vestibular System due to Inner Ear Barotrauma in the Hyperbaric Environment.

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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate changes that may occur in the peripheral vestibular system due to inner ear barotrauma in self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) divers exposed to hyperbaric environments. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 45 healthy volunteers. In this study, after otologic and audiological examinations were performed on two groups as control ( Results: The SCUBA group demonstrated statistically significant differences in pure-tone low and high frequency thresholds within the normal hearing range compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Based on our findings, the increased amplitudes in c-VEMP responses observed in SCUBA divers exposed to hyperbaric environments suggest enhanced saccular plasticity, likely resulting from barotrauma effects on otolith structures. Level of Evidence: 3.
