Selective Delivery of Clindamycin Using a Combination of Bacterially Sensitive Microparticle and Separable Effervescent Microarray Patch on Bacteria Causing Diabetic Foot Infection.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionDiabetic foot infection (DFI) is one of the complications of diabetes mellitus. Clindamycin (CLY) is one of the antibiotics recommended to treat DFI, but CLY given orally and intravenously still causes many side effects.
methodsIn this study, we encapsulated CLY in a bacteria sensitive microparticle system (MP-CLY) using polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer. MP-CLY was then delivered in a separable effervescent microarray patch (MP-CLY-SEMAP), which has the ability to separate between the needle layer and separable layer due to the formation of air bubbles when interacting with interstitial fluid in the skin.
resultThe characterization results of MP-CLY proved that CLY was encapsulated in large amounts as the amount of PCL polymer used increased, and there was no change in the chemical structure of CLY. In vitro release test results showed increased CLY release in media cultured with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and showed controlled release. The characterization results of MPCLY-SEMAP showed that the developed formula has optimal mechanical and penetration capabilities and can separate in 56 ± 5.099 s. An ex vivo dermatokinetic test on a bacterially infected skin model showed an improvement of CLY dermatokinetic profile from MP-CLY SEMAP and a decrease in bacterial viability by 99.99%.
conclusionThis research offers proof of concept demonstrating the improved dermatokinetic profile of CLY encapsulated in a bacteria sensitive MP form and delivered via MP-CLY-SEMAP. The results of this research can be developed for future research by testing MP-CLY-SEMAP in vivo in appropriate animal models.
