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

Purpose: This study evaluated the association of combined cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rehabilitation training with improvements in vestibular dysfunction and negative emotions based on real-world clinical practice. Methods: This single-center, real-world, retrospective cohort study recruited 100 patients with vestibular dysfunction and negative emotions from a tertiary hospital in China between August 2020 and October 2024. Patients were divided into two groups based on actual treatment received: the conventional care group ( Results: At 3 months, the combined intervention group showed significantly greater improvement in VAS, DHI, and SSS scores compared to the conventional care group (all Conclusion: In real-world settings, CBT combined with rehabilitation training was associated with greater improvements in dizziness, somatic symptoms, and anxiety/depression in vestibular dysfunction patients with negative emotions compared with conventional care. Most outcomes improved early, whereas the physical component of dizziness-related disability showed a later between-group separation, which supports the potential value of integrated psychosomatic care models.
