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 skin is an absorptive organ, targeted in the transdermal delivery system. The microneedle method is an updated approach to deliver compounds through the skin in an efficient way. A microneedle patch is composed of dozens to hundreds of micron-sized needles with various structures and advantages benefiting from their special and smart designs. The microneedles method is much more superior to those traditional transdermal delivery ways because of advantages such as minimally invasive, painless, convenience, and improved patient compliance. Up to now, the microneedles field has developed rapidly and is divided into four major types by researchers: solid microneedles (SMNs), hollow microneedles (HMNs), dissolving microneedles (DMNs), and coated microneedles (CMNs). Every type of these microneedles has different advantages according to their unique properties and designs. Psoriasis is a polygenic chronic dermatological disease with no cure, and the treatment is based on symptom control. The traditional therapeutic method is diverse, embracing topical drugs, systemic drugs, physical therapy,
