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

Objectives: To characterise the pattern of video head impulse test (vHIT) impairments in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss with vertigo (SSNHL-V), and to assess its correlation with audiological prognosis. Design: We systematically searched four databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library) from inception to February 24, 2025, performed meta-analysis using Stata 18, and had the protocol prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD420251025900). Results: Among patients with SSNHL-V, impairment of the posterior semicircular canal (PSCC) was found to be more common than that of the horizontal semicircular canal (HSCC) or anterior semicircular canal (ASCC). The pooled prevalence of PSCC abnormality was 50% (95% CI: 0.40-0.60; Conclusion: In patients with SSNHL-V, vHIT assessment revealed a higher rate of PSCC dysfunction compared to other semicircular canals, and impaired PSCC function serves as a significant predictor of auditory prognosis.
