Examining Sociodemographic Differences in the Management of Vestibular Neuritis and Labyrinthitis by Ear, Nose, and Throat Providers and Vestibular Rehabilitation Outcomes.

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
purposeThis study aims to determine the most common management strategies for vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis (VNL) by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) providers and identify sociodemographic variations in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) referral rates and VNL patient performance on baseline VRT assessments.
methodA retrospective study of all adult patients with a single diagnosis of VNL who visited a multiprovider tertiary ENT clinic (
resultsVRT was the most popular treatment recommendation made by ENT providers, and VRT referral rates did not vary according to sociodemographic factors. 68.8% of referred patients initiated VRT. The number of patients with abnormal baseline VRT assessments did not differ by sex or race. More public insurance holders had abnormal Dynamic Gait Index assessment scores (
conclusionsVRT was the most frequent clinical management strategy recommended to VNL patients by ENT providers, and referral rates did not vary by sex, race, or insurance status. Most VRT patients had vestibular dysfunction on baseline assessments, suggesting appropriate referral of VRT by ENT. VNL patients' baseline vestibular function did not vary by sex or race but did vary by insurance status. Further work is needed to investigate study generalizability and elucidate the impact of insurance type on fall risk. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.30053206.
