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

Vestibular migraine (VM) by current definition is an episodic vestibular disorder, yet many patients experience vestibular symptoms that persist beyond discrete attacks and extend into the interictal phase. Symptoms like head-motion intolerance, visually induced dizziness, positional vertigo, and increased susceptibility to motion sickness form an interictal symptom profile, which is often accompanied by migraine-associated sensory hypersensitivities. Clinical, psychophysical, vestibular laboratory, and ocular motor findings indicate altered central vestibular sensory and oculomotor networks, rather than a primary peripheral vestibular disorder. Longitudinal data indicate that interictal vestibular symptoms and ocular motor abnormalities are common and may increase over time, even when attack frequency decreases. These observations support a spectrum-based view of VM, in which episodic attacks and persistent interictal symptoms represent different clinical expressions within the same disorder. This narrative review summarizes current evidence on persistent interictal manifestations of VM and discusses implications for diagnosis and clinical decision-making in patients with episodic and chronic vestibular migraine phenotypes, using an operational definition of chronic vestibular migraine based on symptom frequency, for which preliminary diagnostic criteria are proposed.
