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: Sensory gait ataxia is a core feature of chronic peripheral vestibular disorders, leading to impaired mobility, reduced quality of life, and increased fall risk. Quantitative gait metrics capturing this deficit are valuable endpoints for clinical trials, yet data on their reliability and clinically meaningful change remain limited. Methods: Gait was recorded in 60 patients with chronic bilateral ( Results: Self-selected walking showed good-to-excellent reliability across all domains except asymmetry, with similar results for slow and eyes-closed walking. Clinically meaningful changes were linked to faster gait, longer swing phases, lower variability and asymmetry, and narrower stride width, enabling MCID determination for each metric. Conclusion: Quantitative gait metrics can be reliably assessed in peripheral vestibular disorders and provide robust, clinically relevant endpoints for future intervention studies.
