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

The rapid advancement of 3D printing technology has revolutionized the fabrication of microneedle arrays (MNAs), which hold great promise in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapeutic interventions. This review uniquely explores advanced materials used in the production of 3D-printed MNAs, including photopolymer resins, biocompatible materials, and composite resins, designed to improve mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and functional performance. Additionally, it introduces emerging trends such as 4D printing for programmable MNAs. By analyzing recent innovations, this review identifies critical challenges and proposes future directions to advance the field of 3D-printed MNAs. Unlike previous reviews, this paper emphasizes the integration of innovative materials with advanced 3D printing techniques to enhance both the performance and sustainability of MNAs.
