Otolith Degeneration with Aging: Insights from Video Ocular Counter-Roll (vOCR) Assessment.

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
Background: Vestibular assessments, such as the video ocular counter roll (vOCR) test, offer valuable insights into the interactions between age, otolith function, and vestibular performance. Objective: To analyze the relation between age and vOCR gains as a potential marker of age-related otolith degeneration. Methods: A total of 107 participants underwent vOCR testing. Descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between age and vOCR gains. Results were presented using regression coefficients, 95% confidence intervals, p-values, and R-squared values. Results: In the overall sample, statistically significant associations were observed between age and vOCR gains in both ears. For the right ear, vOCR gains decreased with increasing age (coefficient: -0.03; 95% CI: -0.05 to -0.01; p <0.001; R² = 0.08), while the left ear showed a slightly stronger association (coefficient: -0.04; 95% CI: -0.07 to -0.02; p < 0.001; R² = 0.12). These findings indicate a moderate age-related decline in otolith-mediated vestibular responses. Conclusion: vOCR gains appear to decline with age, reflecting potential age-related otolith degeneration. These results support the clinical value of vOCR as a non-invasive method to assess vestibular function and its changes across the lifespan.
