Observation of MRI-Based Endolymphatic Hydrops and Clinical Symptoms in Patients With Definite Meniere's Disease Over Time: A Case Series.
Article in BioMed research international, 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
purposeThe assessment of endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) with specific MRI sequences underlines the ability to evaluate intralabyrinthine changes objectively and radiologically. The visualization of ELH by MRI allows correlations to be made with clinical patterns and supports the diagnosis of Ménière's disease (MD). Because MD cannot be assumed to be a static clinical condition, follow-up observations are of particular clinical interest. Our examination aimed to compare the grading of MRI-based ELH in patients over time, considering clinical symptoms and possible interventions. MATERIAL AND
methodsTwo MRI hydrops examinations and their gradings, from 11 patients with clinically definite MD, were compared in each case. The clinical pattern before and after conservative therapy or endolymphatic sac surgery was assessed over time using linear mixed regression.
resultsIn 9 out of 11 patients, we observed an aligned trend in the MRI-based grading and hearing loss during an attack of MD. There was an increase in both parameters in eight patients. In one patient, an unchanged grading was observed. In one case, decrease was noted. In three cases there was a change of ELH, although the average hearing loss did not change.
conclusionThe MRI-based ELH may change during MD. Influencing variables and the correlation with clinical symptoms might be of great clinical interest regarding the success of therapy and the subjective complaints of patients. The different treatment options contribute to varying degrees to slowing the progression of MD.
