Retroviral endostatin gene transfer inhibits growth of human lung cancer in a murine orthotopic xenotransplant model.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe administration of endostatin, a potent anti-angiogenic agent, will be required for extended periods of time as a cancer treatment. The aim of the present study was to induce endogenous endostatin secretion in a continuous fashion, based on retroviral gene transfer. The tumor response was evaluated in an orthotopic murine tumor model of human lung cancer. MATERIALS AND
methodsHuman non-small-cell lung cancer cells (KNS 62) were retrovirally transduced with the human endostatin gene. An orthotopic murine xenotransplant model was used to investigate tumor growth, metastases and survival. After 4 weeks of subcutaneous growth, endostatin expression was measured by immunoblot analysis in tumor lysates.
resultsThe growth of the subcutaneous tumors was significantly delayed, and orthotopic tumor growth and pleural metastases were significantly reduced in endostatin-transduced KNS 62 tumors. Prolongation of survival subsequent to orthotopic tumor induction was demonstrated. Strong endostatin expression was found in subcutaneous tumors after 4 weeks.
conclusionRetroviral transduction of the human endostatin gene is capable of achieving long-term endostatin expression. Endostatin transduction provides significant anti-tumor effects with regard to local tumor growth, metastases and survival.
