Advanced Sensing and Delivery Technologies for Nose-to-Brain Administration: From Nanocarriers to Sensor-Integrated Organ-on-Chips.
Review in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Central nervous system (CNS) disorders represent a growing healthcare burden, and various drugs are developed for their treatment. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents over 98% of therapeutics from reaching brain tissue. Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB. This review surveys recent advances in nose-to-brain delivery technologies, from carrier design to evaluation methods. Polymeric and lipid-based nanocarriers show enhanced mucosal penetration and prolonged residence time, and microneedle platforms further enable controlled drug release with minimal discomfort. To evaluate these delivery strategies, sensor-integrated organ-on-chip models provide more physiologically relevant testing than static cultures. Although persistent challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance and formulation stability remain, combining nanotechnology with microfluidic devices and computational modeling shows potential for developing patient-specific therapeutics.
