Recent Developments in Oral Drug Delivery of Prokinetic Agents: Nanoparticles and Beyond.
Review in Current drug delivery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Prokinetic agents are drugs used to enhance gastrointestinal motility and treat disorders such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and gastroparesis. pH-dependent release systems offer targeted drug delivery, allowing prokinetic agents to be released specifically in desired regions of the gastrointestinal tract. This optimizes drug efficacy and minimizes systemic side effects. Gastroretentive formulations enable sustained drug release, which is particularly beneficial in conditions requiring prolonged gastric residence time, such as gastroparesis. Nanoparticles have emerged as promising carriers for improving prokinetic agent delivery and enhancing drug stability, solubility, and absorption. These nano-systems protect drugs from degradation, leading to improved bioavailability and controlled drug release. Furthermore, incorporating mucoadhesive technologies promotes prolonged drug-mucosa interactions, facilitating enhanced drug absorption and reducing dosing frequency. These recent advancements have the potential to revolutionize the oral drug delivery of prokinetic agents, offering improved therapeutic outcomes, enhanced patient compliance, and reduced side effects. However, scalability, biocompatibility, and safety challenges warrant further investigation and validation through preclinical and clinical studies. This review highlights recent advances in oral drug delivery systems for prokinetic agents, focusing on innovative approaches such as pH-dependent release, gastroretentive formulations, nanoparticles, and mucoadhesive technologies. In conclusion, integrating advanced oral drug delivery systems for prokinetic agents presents a promising avenue for managing gastrointestinal disorders. Continued research and collaboration among academia, industry, and healthcare professionals are crucial to unlocking the full potential of these innovations and ultimately translating them into clinically effective treatments for patients.
