Enhanced Transdermal Delivery of Lidocaine Hydrochloride via Dissolvable Microneedles (LH-DMNs) for Rapid Local Anesthesia.
Article in Biosensors, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Microneedles represent an emerging transdermal drug delivery platform offering painless, minimally invasive penetration of the stratum corneum. This study addresses limitations of conventional lidocaine hydrochloride formulations, such as slow onset and poor patient compliance, by developing lidocaine hydrochloride-loaded dissolvable microneedles (LH-DMNs) for rapid local anesthesia. LH-DMNs were fabricated via centrifugal casting using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the matrix material in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) negative molds, which imparts high mechanical strength to the microneedles. Biocompatibility assessments showed negligible skin irritation, resolving within 3 min. And drug-loading capacity reached 24.0 ± 2.84 mg per patch. Pharmacodynamic evaluation via mouse hot plate tests demonstrated significant analgesia, increasing paw withdrawal latency to 36.11 ± 1.62 s at 5 min post-application (
