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

Microneedle patches are promising transdermal drug delivery platforms with minimal invasiveness in a painless manner. Microneedle patch could be a promising alternate route for delivery of drugs having poor solubility and low bioavailability. This research work therefore, aimed to develop and characterize microneedle patch of thiolated chitosan (TCS) and polyvinyl acetate (PVA) for the systemic delivery of dydrogesterone (DYD). TCS-PVA-based microneedle patch was fabricated with 225 needles having a length of 575 µm with the sharp pointed end. Different ratios of TCS-PVA-based patch were employed to investigate the effects of mechanical tensile strength and percentage elongation. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed intact sharp-pointed needles.
