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

Dissolvable microarray patches (MAP) represent a promising drug delivery platform; however, the absence of standardised protocols for their preclinical evaluation poses a significant barrier to regulatory approval and clinical translation. Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling is a powerful tool for predicting drug kinetics following MAP application, addressing key challenges associated with in vitro and in vivo studies such as experimental variability, complex study design, and data extrapolating across different populations. However, adapting PBPK models for dissolvable MAP is inherently complex due to the interplay between microneedle geometry, drug release kinetics, and skin physiology. In this study, an existing dermal PBPK model in MoBi
