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 post-embedding immuno gold staining (IGS) technique was used for the ultrastructural localization of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in pituicytes and tanycytes of the neurohypophysis. IGS was applied to LR White embedded neurohypophyseal tissue of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus), a species which contains abundant GFAP-positive pituicytes and tanycytes. GFAP-immunoreactivity could be demonstrated on pituicytic intermediate filaments (IF's) in situ. Thus, it was shown that pituicytes contain GFAP in its filamentous form, what had been a matter of speculation. At the ultrastructural level, gerbil tanycytes and tanycyte-like cells in the external zone of the median eminence were characterized by a great amount of densely packed IF's, which were labeled by both GFAP- or vimentin-antibodies. Sequential immunostaining of serial semithin sections with GFAP- and vimentin-antibodies revealed an invariable coexpression of the two IF proteins in somata and processes of these median eminence cells.
