GABA in developing rat skeletal muscle and motor neurons.
Article in Protoplasma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
In recent years, considerable evidence is accumulated pointing to participation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in intercellular signaling in the peripheral nervous system, including, in particular, neuromuscular transmission. However, where in the neuromuscular synapse GABA is synthesized remains not quite clear. We used histochemical methods to detect GABA and L-glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) in developing skeletal muscle fibers and in cultured motor neurons. We found that GABA can be detected already in myocytes, but with further muscle maturation, GABA synthesis gradually attenuates and completely ceases in early postnatal development. We found also that formation of GABA in muscle tissue does not depend on activity of GAD, but presumably proceeds through some other, alternative pathways. In motor neurons, GABA and GAD can be detected at the early stage of development (prior to synapse formation). Our data support the hypothesis that GABA and GAD, which are detectable in adult neuromuscular junctions, have neuronal origin. The mechanism of GABA production and its role in developing muscle tissue need further clarification.
