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
Nano-drug delivery systems offer significant benefits, including high specific surface area, structural and functional diversity, and surface modifiability. When formulated as inhalable nano-formulation, these can not only enable precise pulmonary drug delivery but also improve pulmonary bioavailability and enhance thera-peutic efficacy. Currently, there are four types of inhalable nano-formulations for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Inhalable liquid preparations exhibit facile manufactur-ability and broad applicability yet demonstrate compromised stability during aerosolization. Through structure optimization, surface modification, dispersion medium optimization and device improvement, the atomization stability of nano-drug has been enhanced. Pressurized metered-dose inhalers loaded with nano-drugs face technical challenges: conventional propellants may dissolve nano-carriers, whereas co-solvents like ethanol compromise delivery efficiency. Thus, it is necessary to develop novel propellants that provide thermodynamic stability and optimal delivery performance. Nano-drug formulations in dry powder inhalers exhibit relatively favorable physical stability, however, pulmonary delivery efficiency and nanoparticles integrity during processing remain problematic. Pulmonary delivery efficiency can be improved by employing strategies such as blending excipients to promote the re-dispersibility of nanoparticle agglomerates, optimizing the design of microcarrier, and innovating preparation processes. In contrast, soft mist inhalers are an ideal option for pulmonary delivery of nano-drugs owing to their gentle and efficient atomization properties to maintain nano-drug integrity. This review summarizes the inhalable nano-formulations and focuses on challenges and proposed strategies encoun-tered in integrating nano-drug delivery systems and inhalation drug delivery systems. It aims to provide references for the future development of inhalable nano-formulations.
