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

Introduction: Vestibular migraine (VM) is the leading cause of episodic vestibular complaints. It arises from altered brain states that disrupt sensory processing. A reliance on clinical history for diagnosis highlights the need for bedside biomarkers, particularly in emergency settings where misdiagnosis is common. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 30 VM patients (median-age = 40.5; 27 females) from University College London vestibular clinics and 30 age-gender matched healthy controls (median-age = 32.5; 27 females) were recruited, between May 2024 and October 2025. Cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (cVEMP) responses were measured before and after a Results: Mixed linear modeling (MLM) showed no significant effects of group, condition or ear on cVEMP amplitude (all Conclusion: Prolonged unidirectional visual stimulation does not significantly affect cVEMP amplitude responses in VM, limiting its value as a differential diagnostic tool. The need to further explore asymmetry and interaural/interhemispheric sensory integration in VM is underscored.
