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

GABA and glutamate have been postulated as afferent neurotransmitters at the sensory periphery inner ear vestibule in vertebrates. GABA has fulfilled the main criteria to act as afferent neurotransmitter but may also be a putative efferent neurotransmitter, mainly due to cellular localization of its synthesizing enzyme glutamate decarboxylase derived from biochemical, immunocytochemical, in situ hybridization and molecular biological techniques, whereas glutamate afferent neurotransmission role is supported mainly by pharmacological evidences. GABA and Glu could also act as afferent co-neurotransmitters based upon immunocytochemical techniques. This multiplicity was not considered earlier and postulates a peripheral modulation of afferent information being sent to higher vestibular centers. In order to make a definitive cellular assignation to these putative neurotransmitters it is necessary to have evidences derived from immunocytochemical and pharmacological experiments in which both substances are tested simultaneously.
