Rebalancing the Inner Ear: Tracking Epley's Maneuver Success Through Subjective Visual Vertical.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences. 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
Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, predominantly affecting the posterior semicircular canal. While the Epley maneuver is widely recognized as the first-line treatment, objective tools for assessing treatment success are limited. Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) offers a means to evaluate utricular function and may provide objective evidence of therapeutic response. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the Epley maneuver in treating posterior canal BPPV using SVV as an objective outcome measure. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 143 patients (20-65 years) with posterior canal BPPV confirmed by the Dix-Hallpike maneuver. All patients underwent SVV testing before and after the Epley maneuver. Clinical outcomes included SVV deviation, recurrence, and correlations with symptom duration and relief. Results: The mean patient age was 42.15 ± 14.42 years. Significant improvement in SVV deviation was observed across static and dynamic head positions after the Epley maneuver ( Conclusion: The Epley maneuver is a highly effective treatment for posterior canal BPPV with a low recurrence rate. SVV serves as a valuable, objective tool for assessing utricular function and monitoring treatment response.
