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

The pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains elusive, although it has been associated with symptoms such as dizziness and vertigo. Here, we report a case of vestibular neuritis following COVID-19 in a 57-year-old man who presented with rotational vertigo and dizziness exacerbated by neck rotation. The video head impulse test (vHIT) and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) initially indicated right superior vestibular neuritis. Over a seven-month follow-up, improvements in vHIT and oVEMP were consistent with typical vestibular neuritis recovery; however, persistent postural instability and prolonged orthostatic hypotension suggested additional autonomic nervous system dysfunction. This case highlights the potential long-term vestibular impact of COVID-19.
