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 distribution of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the human cerebellar cortex was studied using immunohistochemistry for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the enzyme that catalyses GABA synthesis. Observations by light microscopy revealed, in all layers of the cerebellar cortex, strong, punctate positivity for GAD, related to putative GABAergic nerve terminals, as well as a diffuse cytoplasmic immunoreactivity within neuronal cell bodies. GAD-positive nerve terminals were found in close relationship with the walls of the cerebellar cortex microvessels. Observations by electron microscopy revealed positive nerve terminals in contact with the astrocyte perivascular sheath of capillaries. GAD immunoreactivity was also detected within astroglial perivascular endfeet and endothelial cells. The findings provide further insights into the GABAergic synapses of the circuitry of the human cerebellar cortex. The detection of 'vascular' GAD immunoreactivities suggests that GABAergic mechanisms may regulate cerebellar microvessel function.
