1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The effect of nurse-directed interventions, including the Epley procedure and fall-prevention education, on physical performance and functional balance in patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is of interest. 50 participants were divided into an experimental group (Epley technique and mobility education) and a control group (standard care). After the intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements in the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores, with a positive correlation (r = 0.38, p = 0.01) between physical performance and balance. Socio-demographic factors also influenced outcomes. Nurse-directed interventions were found to be effective, low-cost methods for improving function and reducing fall risk in BPPV patients.
