Transdermal Delivery of Salmon Calcitonin Using a Dissolving Microneedle Array: Characterization, Stability, and In vivo Pharmacodynamics.
Article in AAPS PharmSciTech, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Salmon calcitonin (sCT) is a polypeptide drug, possessing the ability to inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Just like other bioactive macromolecules, sCT is generally administered to the patients by either injection for poor compliance or through nasal spray for low bioavailability, which limits its use as therapeutic drugs. In the present study, to overcome the limitations of the conventional routes, two new dissolving microneedle arrays (DMNAs) based on transdermal sCT delivery systems were developed, namely sCT-DMNA-1 (sCT/Dex/K90E) and sCT-DMNA-2 (sCT/Dex-Tre/K90E) with the same dimension, meeting the requirements of suitable mechanical properties. An accurate and reliable method was established to determine the needle drug loading proportion in sCT-DMNAs. The stability study exhibited that the addition of trehalose could improve the stability of sCT in DMNA under high temperature and humidity. Further, in vivo pharmacodynamic study revealed that DMNA patch could significantly enhanced relative bioavailability to approximately 70%, and the addition of trehalose was found to be beneficial for sCT transdermal delivery. Therefore, sCT-DMNA is expected to replace traditional dosage form, providing a secure, efficient, and low-pain therapeutic strategy for bone disorders.
