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

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that often requires corticosteroid therapy; however, conventional topical delivery can be limited by poor drug solubility. This study aimed to fabricate and evaluate sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) inclusion complex-loaded dissolving microneedles for the microneedle delivery of fluticasone propionate (FP) in AD. The aqueous solubility of FP was enhanced through complexation with SBE-β-CD, followed by incorporation of the resulting inclusion complex into dissolving microneedles. The fabricated MNs were comprehensively characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), drug content analysis, insertion testing, in vitro release studies, and in vivo evaluation over a period of 15-day treatment in six groups of BALB/c mice, including primary comparison groups (the vehicle and commercial topical controls). SEM confirmed uniform microneedle morphology; FTIR indicated between FP and the formulation components. Drug content showed 98% recovery; each MN patch contained 56.93 µg FP per 7.84 mm
