Pharmacological Innovations in Space: Challenges and Future Perspectives.
Review in Pharmaceutical research, 2024. 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
purposeSince the first human experience in space, the interest in space research and medicine to explore universe is growing day by day. The extreme space conditions mainly radiation and microgravity effects on human physiology, antimicrobial susceptibility, and efficacy, safety, and stability of drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to address the impact of extreme space conditions, mainly microgravity and radiation, on human physiology and highlights the need for future approaches by evaluating the effectiveness of strategies to prevent or mitigate health problems.
methodsPublished papers and NASA technical documents were searched in Pubmed and Google Scholar databases using the keywords ''antimicrobial susceptibility or drug resistance or drug stability or innovations or pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamics'' and ''radiation or microgravity or space environments or space medicine or space pharmacy'' to prepare this review.
resultsIn this review, the challenges regarding physiological effects and drug-related problems are examined through the evaluation of extreme conditions in space. Medications used in spaceflight are summarized, and the role of pharmacists specializing in space medicine is briefly explained. Last but not least, to overcome the aforementioned issues, novel approaches have been addressed, such as personalised treatments, development of space-resistant formulations and various microbial applications.
conclusionsFurther research in the space medicine is required to facilitate the safe and healthy travel of humans to the Moon, Mars and other extraterrestrial destinations. One bear in mind that space research will contribute not only to the exploration of the universe, but also to the advancement of health and technological discoveries on Earth.
