Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials to Diagnose Vestibular Neuritis: A Scoping Review.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThis scoping review aims to explore the diagnostic value of Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs) in people with Vestibular Neuritis (VN) with a specific focus on the differential contribution of ocular (oVEMPs) and cervical (cVEMPs) recordings. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive search was conducted in December 2024 across PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. Studies published in English and involving adult patients with suspected or confirmed VN and assessing VEMPs were considered eligible. REVIEW
methodsThe PRISMA-ScR guidelines were followed. Data were extracted regarding methodology, patient characteristics, and diagnostic performance of VEMPs.
resultsEighteen studies met all eligibility criteria. Included studies consistently demonstrated that VEMPs offer valuable diagnostic information in VN, particularly in identifying the affected branch of the vestibular nerve. Several studies supported the use of VEMPs in combination with other vestibular tests to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Methodological heterogeneity in stimulation parameters and recording techniques limits direct comparison across studies but underscores the need for protocol standardization.
conclusionVEMPs are a useful adjunctive tool in the diagnosis of VN, particularly for topographic localization of vestibular nerve involvement. Future research should focus on standardizing protocols and exploring correlations with clinical outcomes to refine their diagnostic utility further.
