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

Ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) using the belly-tendon (BT) electrode montage have well-documented superiority over other montages in healthy adults. However, little is known about its clinical superiority, especially in disorders with rock-bottom response rates, like Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorders (ANSD). Therefore, this study aimed to compare the response parameters of oVEMP to 500 Hz tone bursts from BT, infra-orbital (IO), chin-referenced (CR), and sternum-referenced (SR) electrode montages, between 30 adults with ANSD and 30 age-matched controls. Similar to the well-documented superior response characteristics in healthy adults, the BT montage showed superior response characteristics in ANSD, too. Additionally, the BT montage showed better inter-group discriminability than the IO montage. With a higher response rate, larger peak-to-peak amplitude, and better potency in discriminating a pathological condition from the controls, BT montage affirms clinical superiority over the other electrode montages for recording oVEMPs.
