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
purposeThe aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of Brandt-Daroff exercises in the management of residual dizziness following successful repositioning maneuvers in posterior semicircular canal BPPV.
methodsA total of 67 individuals, comprising 46 women and 21 men aged between 18 and 60 years, were included in the study. Following successful repositioning maneuvers, participants were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received Brandt-Daroff exercises after the successful maneuver, while the other group did not receive any exercises. Subjective assessments were conducted at three different time points: at the time of diagnosis, one week after the successful repositioning maneuver, and at the end of the first month. The diagnostic process was monitored using videonystagmography (VNG), while the assessment phase included the administration of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
resultsA statistically significant difference was found between the groups that performed Brandt-Daroff exercises and those that did not in terms of the total score of the Dizziness Handicap Inventory, as well as its emotional, physical, and functional subscale scores (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was also observed between the two groups in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores (p < 0.05).
conclusionsBrandt-Daroff exercises were found to be effective in the management of residual dizziness following successful repositioning maneuvers.
