Comparative localization of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidoreductase activity in rat tissues.
Article in The Histochemical journal, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The distribution of aldehyde oxidase activity was evaluated in unfixed cryostat sections from tissues of male Wistar rats using a tissue protectant, polyvinyl alcohol, with Tetranitro BT as a final electron acceptor. The distribution of aldehyde oxidase activity was compared with that of xanthine oxidoreductase. The enzyme histochemical method demonstrated aldehyde oxidase activity in the epithelium of the tongue, renal tubules and bronchioles, as well as in the cytoplasm of liver cells. Such activity was not detected in oesophagus, stomach, spleen, adrenal glands, small or large intestine or skeletal and heart muscle fibres. In contrast, xanthine oxidoreductase activity was demonstrated in the tongue, renal tubules, bronchioles, oesophageal, gastric, small and large intestinal epithelial cells, adrenal glands, spleen and liver cytoplasm but not in skeletal and heart muscle fibres. The significance of the ubiquitous distribution of aldehyde oxidase activity, especially in surface epithelial cells from various tissues, except for the gastrointestinal tract, is unclear. However, aldehyde oxidase may possess some physiological activity other than in the metabolism of N-heterocyclics or of certain drugs.
