GABA treatment does not induce neogenesis of new endocrine cells from pancreatic ductal cells.
Article in Islets, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Previous studies indicated that ductal cells can contribute to endocrine neogenesis in adult rodents after alpha cells convert into beta cells. This can occur through Pax4 mis-expression in alpha cells or through long-term administration of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to healthy mice. GABA has also been reported to increase the number of beta cells through direct effects on their proliferation, but only in specific genetic mouse backgrounds. To test whether GABA induces neogenesis of beta cells from ductal cells or affects pancreatic cell proliferation, we administered GABA or saline over 2 or 6 months to
