Alternative Techniques for Porous Microparticle Production: Electrospraying, Microfluidics, and Supercritical CO
Review in Pharmaceutical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Microparticles have been established as injectable drug carriers designed to enable a long-term release of the encapsulated active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). To regulate this release, the diffusion barrier provided by the matrix material - typically hydrolytically degradable polyesters - must be controlled through precise levels of matrix porosity. This mini-review presents processing methods that are alternatives to the most common batch emulsification techniques for the manufacturing of porous polymer particles. A focus is placed on mechanistically describing the particle and pore formation in droplet-based microfluidics, electrospraying, and by supercritical fluids, critically discussing their opportunities and challenges. Ultimately, this review assesses the potential of these techniques in advancing the engineering of porous polymeric carrier systems in the light of scale-up and continuous production.
