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

The use of opioid analgesics in treating severe pain is frequently associated with putative adverse effects in humans. Topical agents that are shown to have high efficacy with a favorable safety profile in clinical settings are great alternatives for pain management of multimodal analgesia. However, the risk of side effects induced by transdermal absorption and systemic exposure is of great concern as they are challenging to predict. The present study aimed to use "BIOiSIM" an artificial intelligence-integrated biosimulation platform to predict the transdermal disposition of opioid analgesics. The model successfully predicted their exposure following the topical application of central opioid agonist buprenorphine and peripheral agonist oxycodone in healthy human subjects with simulation of intra-skin exposure in subjects with burns and pressure wounds. The predicted plasma levels of analgesics were used to evaluate the safety of the therapeutic pain control in patients with the dermal structural impairments caused by acute (burns) or chronic cutaneous lesions (pressure wounds) with topical opioid analgesics.
