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

The human skin, specifically the stratum corneum (SC), remains a formidable barrier to the delivery of therapeutic agents. Nearly 80% of new drug candidates exhibit poor solubility or low permeability, necessitating the development of novel delivery vehicles. Therapeutic deep eutectic solvents (TheDES) have emerged as a "green," multifunctional solution capable of significantly enhancing the solubility and transdermal flux of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This review discusses the physicochemical fundamentals of TheDES, mechanisms of permeation enhancement-including the newly identified "lipid exchange" effect-and the transition from liquid solvents to advanced dosage forms such as eutectogels and nanoemulsions. Current therapeutic applications in pain management, infectious diseases, and chronic conditions are highlighted, alongside critical assessments of dermatological safety and future directions in computational modeling.
