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

Conventional delivery of apomorphine hydrochloride (APO) for management of 'OFF' periods in Parkinson's disease is limited to subcutaneous or sublingual delivery, and would substantially benefit from a transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS). Minimal progression has been made thus far in this area, with current literature presenting debatably flawed or inconsistent experimental design for ex vivo percutaneous permeation and deposition studies, a crucial step in understanding TDDS performance. Provided here is an improved, robust, versatile and easily-transferred analytical methodology, fully validated in accordance with guidelines provided by the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) is employed with ultraviolet-visible (UV) light or fluorescence intensity (FID) detection in conjunction with a Franz diffusion-cell setup that ensures stability of APO and uses physiologically relevant neonatal porcine skin. Thus, this methodology may be reliably employed by future researchers developing an APO TDDS. To demonstrate application, a superficial investigation into model pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) patch systems provided sustained percutaneous delivery of up to 4.015 ± 2.361 µg/cm
