1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 pharmacological treatment of central nervous system diseases faces significant challenges due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier naturally protects the brain and prevents therapeutics from reaching their targets efficiently. However, the BBB allows the passage of nutrients and other molecules that guarantee brain homeostasis through selective transport mechanisms present at the BBB. These mechanisms provide an opportunity for delivering therapeutic agents into the central nervous system using brain shuttles. Here we review the progress of brain shuttle peptide development from 2015 until 2025. We highlight the most utilized peptides and describe trends in strategies to develop new shuttles and enhance their transport efficiency. Additionally, we compared them with other types of brain shuttles and emphasize the progress of peptide shuttles toward clinical translation.
