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

Biofuel cells show emerging potential as energy-supply platform by harvesting bioenergy from human biofluids for next-generation self-powered transdermal drug delivery systems. Herein, the study proposes the hydrogel-based microneedle patch as the drug penetration unit within the corneum to drive the large drug molecules' delivery. Benefiting from the high porosity and swelling capability, the interstitial fluid can be extracted efficiently to the body surface. One biofuel cell is integrated into the microneedle patch with MXene/carbon nanotube functionalized glucose oxidase bioanode. The transdermal currents of 4-5 µA and open-circuit potential of 0.28 V are collected in in vivo. The transdermal delivery efficiency and releasing rate of ciprofloxacin and insulin are significantly enhanced in vitro and in vivo models, respectively. The theoretical simulations provide detailed insights into the good electron transport and substrate adsorption, glucose replenishment, and drug delivery under electric field, benefiting the development of transdermal drug delivery systems.
