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 inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is most likely involved in the efferent cochlear neurotransmission. In situ hybridization (ISH) results in specific annealing of a labelled nucleic acid probe to complementary sequences in fixed tissue and allows subsequent visualization of the location of the probe. We used the ISH technique to localize messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) sequences of the alpha-1 subunit of the GABAA receptor with an S-35 labeled oligonucleotide probe. Experiments were performed in rat and guinea pig brain sections and surface tissue preparations of the guinea pig cochlea. Positive signals were obtained for the alpha-1 probe in cortical and hippocampal regions of the rat brain and had weaker expression in the guinea pig brain. Alpha-1 subunit mRNA was localized in Purkinje cells and in stellate and basket cells of the stratum moleculare in the rat and guinea pig cerebellum. In surface tissue preparations of the guinea pig cochlea mRNA sequences of the alpha-1 subunit were detectable with high signal expression. Positive signals were seen on both sides of the tunnel of Corti, predominantly in the region of the outer hair cells. The results indicate expression of GABAA-receptor mRNA in cochlear tissue, supporting the importance of GABAA receptors in cochlear neurotransmission.
