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

Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM) remains an under-recognized condition despite its relative high prevalence and substantial impact on the interictal burden of migraine. We quantified vestibular dysfunctions and interictal migraine burden and evaluated whether dizziness contributes to the migraine interictal burden of VM. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of consecutive patients fulfilling the Bárány Society and the Results: Seventy-five patients were included {median age 37 years [interquartile range (IQR): 27-47]; 74.3% female; 26.7% with aura}. The median HIT-6 score was 62 (IQR: 58-65) and the median MIBS-4 was 4.0 (IQR: 1.0-7.0), with 41.3% of patients exhibiting severe interictal burden (MIBS-4 ≥5). The median DHI score was 20 (IQR: 12-36), and the Romberg ratio was 1.45 (IQR: 1.03-1.97). Vestibular-ocular reflex gains were largely normal, whereas 73.3% of patients exhibited catch-up saccade (CUS) abnormalities. In univariable analyses, MIBS-4 correlated positively with HIT-6 ( Conclusion: In patients with VM during the interictal period, vestibular functions were largely normal except for abnormalities in the v-HIT CUS, whereas subjective dizziness assessed by DHI significantly contributed to the high degree of migraine interictal burden. The dizziness experienced in VM resembled that of persistent postural-perceptual dizziness. These results indicate that vestibular rehabilitation might be effective in alleviating migraine interictal burden in patients with VM.
