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

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is synthesised by glutamic acid decarboxylase which catalyses the decarboxylation of L-glutamic acid. L-glutamic acid is formed by α-ketoglutarate in the TCA cycle by glutamic acid dehydrogenase (GDH). GABA is found in the human brain, plants, animals and microorganisms. GABA functions as an antidepressant, antihypertensive, antidiabetic and immune system enhancer and has a good effect on neural disease. As GABA have pharmaceutical properties, conditions for GABA production need to be established. Microbiological GABA production is more safe and eco-friendly rather than chemical methods. Moreover, it is easier to control conditions of production using microorganisms compared to production in plants and animals. GABA production in fermented foods and beverages has the potential to be optimised to increase the functional effect of fermented foods and beverages.
