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
Aim: The present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) among all vertigo cases in a tertiary care hospital in India and assess the treatment outcomes of the Epley maneuver combined with Betahistine. Material and Methods: A total of 60 patients diagnosed with posterior canal BPPV were included in the study, with confirmation achieved via the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. All patients underwent Epley's maneuver and received Betahistine for symptom management. Treatment success was evaluated by assessing symptom resolution at 1-week and 1-month follow-ups. Results: This prospective study of 60 patients found the majority in the 41-60 age group, with idiopathic causes being predominant. The Epley maneuver combined with Betahistine had a success rate of 78.33%, consistent with other studies. The gender distribution was balanced, and trauma-related BPPV was observed in a few cases. Conclusion: The findings bolster the effectiveness of the Epley maneuver as a primary treatment and highlight the need for further research into combined treatments and long-term outcomes, including vestibular rehabilitation for refractory cases.
