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

Hollow microneedle patches (HMNPs) have great promise for efficient and precise transdermal drug delivery in a painless manner. Currently, the clinical application of HMNPs is restricted by its complex manufacturing processes. Here, we use a new three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, static optical projection lithography (SOPL), for the fast fabrication of HMNPs. In this technology, a light beam is modulated into a customized pattern by a digital micromirror device (DMD) and projected to induce the spatial polymerization of monomer solutions which is controlled by the distribution of the light intensity in the monomer solutions. After an annulus picture is inputted into the DMD via the computer, the microneedles with hollow-cone structure can be precisely printed in seconds. By designing the printing pictures, the personalized HMNPs can be fast customized, which can afford the scale-up preparation of personalized HMNPs. Meanwhile, the obtained hollow microneedles (HMNs) have smooth surface without layer-by-layer structure in the commonly 3D-printed products. After being equipped with a micro-syringe, the HMNPs can efficiently deliver insulin into the skin by injection, resulting in effective control of the blood glucose level in diabetic mice. This work demonstrates a SOPL-based 3D printing technology for fast customization of HMNPs with promising medical applications.
