Rise of implantable drugs: A chronicle of breakthroughs in drug delivery systems.
Review in Saudi pharmaceutical journal : SPJ : the official publication of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In recent years, implantable drug delivery systems (IDDSs) have undergone significant advancements because they offer many advantages to patients and health care professionals. Miniaturization has reduced the size of these devices, making them less invasive and easier to implant. Remote control provides more precise medication delivery and dosage. Biodegradable implants are an additional advancement in implantable drug delivery systems that eliminate the need for surgical removal. Smart implants can monitor a patient's condition and adjust their drug doses. Long-acting implants also provide sustained drug delivery for months or even years, eliminating the need for regular medication dosing, and wireless power and data transmission technology enables the use of devices that are more comfortable and less invasive. These innovations have enhanced patient outcomes by enabling more precise administration, sustained drug delivery, and improved health care monitoring. With continued research and development, it is anticipated that IDDSs will become more effective and provide patients with improved health outcomes. This review categorizes and discusses the benefits and limitations of recent novel IDDSs for their potential therapeutic use.
