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

Microfluidic diffusion systems provide a powerful in vitro platform for evaluating transdermal drug delivery (TDD), yet their predictive capability is often constrained by limited experimental datasets and nonlinear transport behavior across membrane-device configurations. This study integrates machine learning (ML) with microfluidic experimentation to develop accurate and generalizable surrogate models for cumulative drug permeation under different hydrodynamic and membrane conditions. This work presents an ML-augmented microfluidic TDD framework for predicting cumulative drug permeation from small experimental datasets. Caffeine cream permeation was examined across twelve device-membrane configurations (sMDC, mMDC, and LiveBox2 paired with PET, CA, rat skin, and alginate) at three perfusion flow rates. For each configuration, SVR, MLP, RFR, GBR, XGB, and KNN models were trained and cross-validated using only 33 experimental measurements. SVR showed the strongest overall performance among the evaluated models, achieving test R
