Progressive vestibular dysfunction in unilateral acute otitis media with serous labyrinthitis: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 study aimed to investigate vestibular function changes in patients with serous labyrinthitis and to discuss the possible mechanisms involved. PATIENT PRESENTATION: A 34-year-old female patient of Chinese ethnicity presented with progressive vestibular dysfunction and unilateral acute otitis media complicated by serous labyrinthitis. Upon diagnosis, systemic antibiotic and glucocorticoid therapy was initiated; ceftriaxone sodium (2 g) and dexamethasone (10 mg) were administered via intravenous infusion once daily for 5 days, complemented by hydroxymethazoline and mometasone furoate nasal sprays as adjunctive antiinflammatory measures. Within a week, audiometric thresholds returned to normal, nystagmus intensity progressively diminished, and vertigo resolved entirely.
conclusionPatients with vertigo and labyrinthitis secondary to acute otitis media typically exhibit variable vestibular symptoms, with unidirectional irritative nystagmus serving as a cardinal diagnostic sign. Integration of audiological and vestibular function assessments, including meticulous surveillance of clinical evolution, is paramount to prevent misdiagnosis or treatment delay. The differential impacts of toxic versus inflammatory mediators on inner ear physiology may render early combination therapy with antibiotics and glucocorticoids particularly efficacious.
