Frequency Amplitude Ratio of Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential in Different Age Groups.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundHigh levels of sound intensity can be detected by the vestibular system. It is a clinical method used to assess the vestibular system's response to sound stimulation. In healthy individuals, research has indicated that the use of low-frequency stimuli results in decreased vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) thresholds, especially a 500 Hz tone-burst. As people age, their frequency tuning changes, moving towards higher frequencies.
methodsEighty healthy participants participated in this cross-sectional investigation. Both air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) were used as stimulation methods in the ocular VEMP (oVEMP) test. The following oVEMP parameters were assessed in the study: the inter-frequency peak amplitude ratio (FAR). Furthermore, a rectified FAR (Frequency Amplitude Ratio)-a technique that normalizes the VEMP response amplitude according to the strength of muscle contraction as determined by EMG (Electromyogram) -was examined.
resultsStatistically significant differences in FAR and rFAR (rectified Frequency Amplitude Ratio) of oVEMP were observed among the 5 age groups when using both AC and BC stimuli.
conclusionThis study used both AC and BC stimuli to determine age norms for the FAR (1000/500 Hz) of oVEMP. When compared to younger age groups, participants over 50 had much greater FAR and corrected FAR values. Comparable FAR results were obtained from both AC and BC stimuli, suggesting that either approach can be utilized for testing.
