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

purposeThe aim of this study is to provide a detailed description of a Dutch cohort of patients with Menière's disease (MD), classify patients into clinical subtypes according to the criteria proposed by Frejo et al., and compare the distribution of these subtypes with cohorts from Spain, the United States, and China.

methodsA retrospective, cross-sectional chart review was conducted among 375 patients diagnosed with definite MD at two Dutch medical centers. Patients were classified into five clinical subtypes of unilateral MD or 5 subtypes of bilateral MD. Baseline characteristics were analyzed and compared across subtypes and international cohorts.

resultsOf the 375 included patients, 335 had unilateral MD of which 49.0% were type 1 (classic MD), 23.6% type 2 (delayed MD), 6.6% type 3 (familial MD), 13.7% type 4 (migraine-associated MD), and 7.2% type 5 (autoimmune MD). This distribution differed significantly from the Spanish cohort regarding the delayed and familial subgroups, and from the Chinese cohort regarding the familial subgroup. Forty cases of bilateral MD were observed, with differences in the synchronic subgroup when compared to the Spanish cohort.

conclusionThis study describes the clinical subtypes of MD within a Dutch patient cohort, with subtype distributions more closely resembling those of the American and Chinese cohorts than the Spanish cohort. This suggest regional variation in the clinical expression of MD.
