Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier: Innovations in Receptor- and Transporter-Mediated Transcytosis Strategies.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective and natural protective membrane that restricts the entry of therapeutic agents into the central nervous system (CNS). This restrictive nature poses a major challenge for pharmacological treatment of a wide range of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and psychiatric conditions. Many chemical drugs and biopharmaceuticals are unable to cross the BBB, and conventional drug delivery methods often fail to achieve sufficient brain concentrations, leading to reduced therapeutic efficacy and increased risk of systemic toxicity. In recent years, targeted drug delivery strategies have emerged as promising approaches to overcome the BBB and enhance the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. Among these, receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) and transporter-mediated transcytosis (TMT) are two of the most extensively studied mechanisms for transporting drugs across brain endothelial cells into the brain parenchyma. Advances in materials science and nanotechnology have facilitated the development of multifunctional carriers with optimized properties, improving drug targeting, stability, and release profiles within the brain. This review summarizes the physiological structure of the BBB and highlights recent innovations in RMT- and TMT-mediated brain drug delivery systems, emphasizing their potential not only to overcome current challenges in CNS drug development, but also to pave the way for next-generation therapies that enable more precise, effective, and personalized treatment of brain-related diseases.
