Progress in the Application of Microneedles in Eye Disorders and the Proposal of the Upgraded Microneedle with Spinule.
Review in Pharmaceutical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
purposeIn the local administration methods for treating eye diseases, the application of microneedles has great potential due to the shortcomings of low efficacy and significant side effects of local administration preparations. This article provides ideas for the research on the application of ophthalmic microneedle in the treatment of eye diseases.
resultsThis article analyzes the physiological structures of the eyes, ocular diseases and its existing ocular preparations in sequence. Finally, this article reviews the development and trends of ocular microneedles in recent years, and summarizes and discusses the drugs of ocular microneedles as well as the future directions of development. At the same time, according to the inspiration of previous work, the concept of "microneedle with spinule" is proposed for the first time, and its advantages and limitations are discussed in the article.
conclusionsAt present, the application of ocular microneedles still faces multiple challenges. The aspects of auxiliary devices, appearance, the properties of the matrix materials, and preparation technology of ophthalmic microneedle are crucial for their application in the treatment of eye diseases.
