Glutamic acid decarboxylase in different areas of the developing chick central nervous system.

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.
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 temporal course of the development of GAD activity in GABAergic neurons was studied in the chick retina, optic lobe and cerebellum. The developmental pattern of GAD activity was similar in the three areas studied, showing typical sigmoideal curves, which reached a maximal value at the 3rd post-hatching day. Kinetic studies during development revealed that Km remained unchanged while Vmax increased 3-fold in the retina (48.99 +/- 0.84 nmol/hr/mg protein), almost 4-fold in the optic lobe (162.77 +/- 4.32 nmol/hr/mg protein) and 3.5 fold in the cerebellum (69.30 +/- 1.26 nmol/hr/mg protein). The developmental pattern of GAD activity in homogenates of the three areas studied from dark-reared and light-reared chicks with respect to normal light-dark cycle animals showed no significant differences. These results indicate that the increase in GAD activity during development are not due to a change in the affinity for its substrate but rather to changes in the concentration of the enzyme. The developmental pattern of GAD activity in the chick visual system was not affected by environmental conditions suggesting that the developmental profile is light-independent.
