Angiotensin converting enzyme activity and nitric oxide level in serum patients with dehydration.
Article in Bosnian journal of basic medical sciences, 2007. 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
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and nitric oxide (NO) have been suggested to be involved in the regulation of fluid homeostasis. In the present investigation, ACE activity and NO levels were determined in serum of 20 patients (10 men and 10 women) with dehydration caused by gastroenterocolitis and 20 healthy individuals (10 men and 10 women). Serum and tissue ACE activity was determined by spectrophotometric method using hippuryl-l-histidyl-l-leucine (Hip-His-Leu) as a substrate. NO synthesis was determined by measuring the products of NO, nitrite and nitrate. The concentration of nitrites was determined by classic colorimetric method using Griess reagent. Nitrate concentration was determined indirectly by their reduction with elementary zinc into nitrite. Results have shown that serum ACE activity in patients with dehydration (36,46+/-2,74 U/L) is statistically higher then in healthy individuals (28,71+/-1,77 U/L, p<0,05). The average level of nitrites/nitrates in serum of patients with dehydration (30,57+/-1,05 microM; mean +/- SEM) is also statistically higher then in healthy individuals (12,44+/-0,60 microM, p<0,0001). There was no correlation between ACE activity and NO production. The results indicate that ACE and NO may participate in the regulation of the alteration in blood flow and in the regulation of the water balance in patients with dehydration.
