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

Homoharringtonine is a natural alkaloid with significant pharmacological potential that has demonstrated promising efficacy in the treatment of hematological malignancies in recent years. This article systematically reviews the pharmacological mechanisms of Homoharringtonine, focusing on its key roles in inducing apoptosis, inhibiting cell cycle progression, and reducing cell migration and invasion. Additionally, HHT exhibits multiple biological activities, including immunomodulation, antiviral effects, and anti-fibrotic properties, with recent studies also revealing its potential neuroprotective functions. In clinical trials, Homoharringtonine has demonstrated promising efficacy in the treatment of hematological malignancies, particularly in various types such as acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia. Despite the significant antitumor effects observed in clinical applications, its low bioavailability and potential side effects remain major challenges that limit its widespread use. This article details the latest research advancements aimed at enhancing the bioavailability of Homoharringtonine, including various drug delivery systems such as nanoparticles and liposomes, as well as chemical modification strategies. These approaches not only improve HHT's bioavailability
