Effectiveness of three vestibular rehabilitation exercises for treating acute unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction: a multicenter randomized study.

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: Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an established intervention for patients with acute unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction (aUPVD). However, the relative effectiveness of different VRT strategies remains uncertain. This multicenter randomized pilot trial aimed to compare the effects of customized vestibular rehabilitation therapy (CVRT), generic Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises (GVRT), and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) adaptation exercises on vestibular symptom recovery and functional improvement. Methods: A total of 34 patients with aUPVD were enrolled across three centers, of whom 23 completed the study and were included in the final analysis (CVRT, Results: Significant within-group improvements were observed in mCTSIB, VAS, DS, DHI, and ABC scores in the CVRT group ( Conclusion: All three vestibular physical therapy approaches effectively improved symptoms and functional balance in patients with aUPVD. While between-group differences were not statistically significant, the customized rehabilitation group showed the most consistent pattern of improvement. These findings suggest potential clinical advantages of individualized therapy, warranting confirmation in larger studies.
