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

IntroductionThe subscales of the Vestibular Activities and Participation measure (VAP) assess the impact of vestibular dysfunction on activity and participation; however, no diagnostic accuracy studies have evaluated their ability to identify severe handicap in individuals with vestibular disorders.ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the VAP subscales in detecting severe handicap in individuals with vestibular dysfunction.MethodsThe diagnostic accuracy study included individuals with vestibular dysfunction who were ≥18 years. The diagnostic accuracy of the VAP subscales (VAP1-BR and VAP2-BR) was analyzed using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, with the Dizziness Handicap Inventory serving as the reference test. The area under the curve (AUC), cutoff points, sensitivity, specificity, and 95% confidence intervals were determined. Statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc® software, with a significance level of
