Stimuli-Responsive Nanocarriers for Transdermal siRNA Delivery: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Therapeutic Strategies.
Review in International journal of nanomedicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) holds therapeutic promise for dermatological diseases, but clinical translation is limited by the stratum corneum barrier and the instability of naked siRNA. Nanocarrier-based systems offer effective solutions by enhancing skin penetration, improving siRNA stability, and enabling targeted intracellular delivery. Methods: This review synthesizes current evidence on nanocarrier-mediated transdermal siRNA delivery. Key design parameters: particle size, surface charge, degradability, and morphology are evaluated for their roles in skin permeation and intracellular trafficking. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers (pH, enzymatic, light, temperature) and physical enhancement strategies, including microneedles, sonophoresis, and laser ablation, are also reviewed. Results: Lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles demonstrate notable advantages in stability, biocompatibility, and co-delivery capability. Stimuli-responsive systems enable spatiotemporal control of siRNA release, while physical enhancement technologies significantly improve cutaneous permeability. Disease-specific delivery strategies tailored to pathological microenvironments including psoriasis, melanoma, and chronic wounds illustrate the feasibility of adapting material composition, structural parameters, and responsiveness to different therapeutic contexts. Conclusion: Advances in intelligent nanomaterials, responsive carrier engineering, and physical facilitation approaches provide a solid foundation for clinically viable transdermal siRNA therapies. Future development will benefit from integrating precise release control with disease-tailored delivery strategies to overcome biological barriers and optimize therapeutic outcomes.
