Robotic Pills as Innovative Personalized Medicine Tools: A Mini Review.
Review in Recent advances in drug delivery and formulation, 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
The most common route for drug administration is the oral route due to the various advantages offered by this route, such as ease of administration, controlled and sustained drug delivery, convenience, and non-invasiveness. In spite of this, oral drug absorption faces challenges due to various issues related to its stability, permeability and solubility in the GI tract. Biologic drugs generally face problems when administered by oral route as they are readily degradable and thus required to be injected. To overcome these issues in oral absorption, different approaches like novel drug delivery systems and newer pharmaceutical technologies have been adopted. With a combined knowledge of drug delivery and pharmaceutical technology, robotic pills can be designed and used successfully to enhance the adhesion and permeation of drugs through the mucus membrane of the GI tract to achieve drug delivery at the target site. The potential application of robotic pills in diagnosis and drug dispensing is also discussed. The review highlights recent developments in robotic pill drug-device technology and discusses its potential applications to solve the problems and challenges in oral drug delivery.
