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

Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of global disease burden. To date, the limited drug delivery efficacy confines the therapeutic effect in most conventional approaches, such as intramyocardial injections and vascular devices, due to short-term drug release and low retention within the disease sites. As a typical transdermal medical device with a minimally invasive manner and controlled/sustained drug release pattern, microneedles have gained momentum in the field of cardiovascular therapy, from which several cardiovascular diseases have been benefited to the ultimate therapeutic effects. In this concise review, strategies based on the microneedles for the treatments of cardiovascular diseases are introduced, mainly focus on hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombus, and myocardial diseases. The limitations at the present stage and perspectives of the next-generation microneedles for cardiovascular therapy are also discussed.
