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

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that causes progressive joint damage and systemic effects. Naringin (NRG), a citrus-derived flavonoid with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, is hindered by poor solubility and low bioavailability in clinical applications. NRG was encapsulated into PEGylated terpesomes (TPs) prepared by thin-film hydration using phosphatidylcholine, terpenes, and sodium deoxycholate, then integrated into hyaluronic acid-based microneedles (NRG-TPs/HA-MNs) to create a dual-mechanism transdermal delivery system. Optimized NRG-loaded terpesomes possessed a nanoscale particle size (218 ± 0.67 nm), a narrow polydispersity index (PDI: 0.32 ± 0.05), a high entrapment efficiency (79 ± 0.23%), and strong colloidal stability (Zeta potential: -36.37 ± 0.87). HA-MN patches exhibited remarkable mechanical strength, high drug loading (>93%), and successful skin penetration. NRG release was sustained for over 48 h, and transdermal permeation was significantly improved compared to free NRG in both
