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

Ménière's disease, characterized by episodic vertigo, sensorineural hearing loss, and tinnitus, is well-documented in humans but rarely reported in veterinary medicine. This case report describes a 15-year-old male mixed-breed dog with recurrent vestibular episodes lasting 30 min to several hours. Clinical signs included ataxia, head tilt, and nystagmus. MRI and diagnostic workups ruled out common structural causes of vestibular signs and ear diseases. Audiometric testing revealed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with preserved high-frequency hearing in the right ear, a pattern resembling that seen in human Ménière's disease. While the dog improved with supportive care, multiple relapses occurred until the age of 18. This case suggests a Ménière's-like syndrome in dogs and highlights the need for hearing function assessments in idiopathic vestibular disease.
