Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: a phenotype-oriented approach to practical management.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2026. 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
Introduction: Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a chronic functional vestibular disorder defined by persistent dizziness, unsteadiness, or non-spinning vertigo exacerbated by upright posture, active or passive motion, and visually complex environments. In clinical practice, however, the diagnostic label alone is often insufficient to guide management, because patients differ substantially in the relative prominence of visual dependence, motion-postural burden, multisensory provocation, affective-hypervigilant mechanisms, and migraine overlap. Objective: To propose a clinically oriented, dimension-informed framework for translating a positive diagnosis of PPPD into individualized formulation and practical multimodal management. Methods: This article presents a practice-oriented narrative synthesis rather than a systematic review or formal guideline. The literature was selected to inform clinical formulation, symptom profiling, assessment, treatment prioritization, and the interface between PPPD and vestibular migraine. The proposed framework is intended as a pragmatic clinical heuristic, not as a biologic taxonomy or a validated treatment-stratification model. Conclusion: We organize PPPD heterogeneity around five anchor clinical phenotypes: visually dominant/visually dependent, active motion-postural, mixed/multisensory, affective-hypervigilant, and migraine-overlap/vestibular migraine-PPPD interface. These patterns are best understood as dominant clinical dimensions within a continuous and overlapping clinical space rather than as mutually exclusive phenotypes. This dimensional formulation may guide the weighting and sequencing of vestibular rehabilitation, psychologically informed interventions, migraine-oriented management, and selected pharmacologic treatment. It may also support the rational selection of assessment tools for clinical formulation and longitudinal follow-up. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether these clinical dimensions predict prognosis, functional outcome, treatment needs, or differential treatment response.
