Inhibition of KiSS-1 on metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma implant tumor in nude mice.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a kind of head-neck malignant neoplasm originated from the nasopharyngeal epithelium and is mainly prevalent in Southern China and Southeast Asia countries. KiSS-1 is an inhibitor of tumor metastasis in a range of cancers.
methodsWe establish a cell substrain of SUNE-1-5-8F (NPC cell line from humans) that trsnfected with lentiviral vectors carried with KiSS-1 gene and were selected by puromycin. A transplantation tumor animal model in BALB/c-nu mice was successfully established with a substrain that stably overexpressed KiSS-1.
resultsOur result showed that the size of transplantation tumor in the nude mice with KiSS-1 overexpression in transplantation tumor was not difference from the size of transplantation tumor in the controlled transplantation tumor mice. We detected metastatic tumor in lung but not in liver. Moreover, we also found that in the nude mice with KiSS-1 overexpression in transplantation tumor showed extremely fewer metastatic tumor in lung compared with the controlled transplantation tumor mice model. In conclusion, KiSS-1 may be beneficial for the inhibition of metastasis of human NPC.
conclusionThis study may throw light on the treatment of NPC and may help improve the prognosis of patients with NPC.
