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 receptors are classically known for driving neuronal hyperpolarization and modulating synaptic transmission. In glial cells, however, GABA induces depolarization and triggers calcium-dependent signaling pathways. Müller glia, the principal retinal glial population, maintain retinal homeostasis and are the major source of neuroretinal VEGF-A, a key angiogenic factor in development and disease. Although GABA receptor (GABAR) activity has been proposed to influence retinal VEGF-A, it remains unclear whether this regulation occurs through Müller glial cells (MGC) and which mechanisms are involved. Here, we investigated how GABAR activation modulates VEGF-A in primary mouse MGC cultures. Cells were exposed to GABA and selective agonists or antagonists of GABA
