1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality world-wide. Since the majority of cancer deaths result from metastatic complications, understanding cellular alterations contributing to organ specific metastases is a continuing cancer research goal. Desirable models involve easy, efficient methodologies for development of pulmonary metastases utilizing genetically related syngeneic tumor cell lines varying in clonogenic frequency and growth rate for comparative studies. This work focused on development and characterization of primary and metastatic Lewis lung subclones (LLCC3, LLC1, LLCab) in a histocompatible C57B1/6 model. Surgical resection of primary tumors utilizing these cell lines resulted in reliable development of pulmonary metastases (> 90% of injected mice), while tail-vein injection proved sporadic (20% of injected mice). The preliminary analysis of selected cell-surface molecules indicates potential genetic differences that may underlie phenotypic variations. The combination of subcutaneous resection methodology and variant cell lines results in robust metastatic lung cancer for testing potential therapeutic interventions.
