Microneedle technology in the treatment of ocular diseases: Advances and applications.
Review in Asian journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Microneedle (MN) technology has emerged as a transformative approach for treating ocular diseases, addressing the limitations of conventional drug delivery methods such as low bioavailability and poor patient compliance. This review highlights the advancements and applications of MNs in managing both anterior and posterior segment ocular diseases. MNs overcome physiological barriers, enabling precise, minimally invasive drug delivery with enhanced efficacy. Various MN designs, such as solid, coated, soluble, hollow, hydrogel and cryo-MNs, are tailored for specific therapeutic needs, offering rapid or sustained drug release. Applications include treating keratitis, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, demonstrating improved drug penetration and reduced side effects. Despite challenges in manufacturing and clinical translation, MN technology holds promise for revolutionizing ocular therapeutics through innovations in materials, design, and personalized medicine.
