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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between clinical features, BPPV subtypes, and dizziness complaints in patients with BPPV to identify factors contributing to dizziness distress. Methods: This study included 129 patients diagnosed with BPPV. Demographic and clinical features of the patients were determined. The degree of dizziness was assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: Female patients experienced longer BPPV durations and higher dizziness-related distress. Recurrent BPPV was more common in females (46.5%), with higher physical distress reported in these patients. Cupulolithiasis was associated with significantly higher emotional and functional DHI scores. There was no correlation between age and dizziness severity, but a positive correlation was found between age and BPPV duration in patients without recurrence. Conclusion: Dizziness severity is influenced by sex, BPPV subtype, and recurrence. Females and patients with cupulolithiasis experience greater dizziness distress, particularly in functional and emotional domains.
