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

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease in most patients. Homoharringtonine (HHT) is a natural alkaloid produced by various Cephalotaxus species, and is approved by the United States of America Food and Drug Administration to treat patients with acute and chronic myeloid lymphoma. The aim of this study was to develop the high proportion polyethyleneglycol (PEG) of long-circulating HHT liposomes (LCL-HHT-H-PEG) and investigate its therapeutic applicability in vitro and in vivo against RPMI8226 MM. The optimized formulation of LCL-HHT-H-PEG showed a higher association with cytotoxicity against MM RPMI8226 cells than those of low proportion PEG of long-circulating HHT liposomes, liposome-encapsulated-HHT, micelle-HHT, and HHT in vitro. Therapeutic experiments in severe combined immunodeficient mice implanted with MM RPMI8226 cells by the subcutaeous route showed the significant inhibition of tumor growth in LCL-HHT-H-PEG group compared with the HHT group, and other control groups. The analysis of flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy indicated that LCL-HHT-H-PEG exerted the cytotoxicity against MM by inducing the MM apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. This study suggests that our developed LCL-HHT-H-PEG may be regarded as a promising nano-device to deliver anti-MM drug HHT for treatment of MM patients.
