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

Protein therapeutics are emerging as essential technologies due to their functional and chemical properties. However, their application is currently limited to delivery by oral and injection methods-the former being inefficient and the latter invasive and potentially tissue damaging. Researchers are, therefore, exploring noninvasive delivery systems for proteins through the skin, including transdermal and topical delivery. The large molecular size of proteins presents a key challenge for skin penetration, hindering their ability to penetrate the dense skin lamellar structure. This review focuses on using nanoparticles as carriers to increase protein stability and enhance skin penetration. The use of noninvasive or minimally invasive enhancers for controlling and improving penetration depth is also examined. Furthermore, the physical properties of nanoparticles that affect delivery are evaluated, aiming to propose ways to advance transdermal and topical delivery methods in the future.
