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

Objective: Vestibular migraine (VM) and Meniere's disease (MD) are episodic vertigo disorders with overlapping symptoms, often leading to misdiagnosis. This study aimed to identify a cost-effective diagnostic method to distinguish VM and MD. Methods: In this retrospective study, 108 VM patients and 65 MD patients were enrolled. Clinical symptoms, interictal videonystagmography (VNG) findings, and caloric test results were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The VM group had a significantly higher proportion of females ( Conclusion: While clinical symptom profiles effectively distinguish VM from MD, interictal nystagmus analysis has limited diagnostic value. The caloric test is a reliable and practical tool, as the presence of significant canal paresis strongly indicates MD over VM. Combining symptom evaluation with caloric testing offers a cost-effective strategy for the differential diagnosis of these common vestibular disorders.
