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 growing interest in transdermal drug delivery systems has led to the exploration of novel methods to enhance skin permeability and drug bioavailability. In this study, the effects of various electromagnetic fields (EMF) configurations on the physicochemical properties and transdermal performance of ketoprofen, a commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, were investigated. Ketoprofen samples were exposed for 8 hours to oscillating, pulsed, static (positive and negative polarity), and rotating magnetic fields. Subsequent analyses included FTIR spectroscopy, XRD, thermal stability, aqueous solubility, lipophilicity (log P), skin permeability (measured using Franz diffusion cells), and accumulation in porcine skin. The results showed that, while the molecular structure of ketoprofen remained unchanged, exposure to a magnetic field induced subtle changes in the crystal structure, thermal behaviour, solubility, and lipophilicity properties. Among all tested conditions, pulsed magnetic fields (particularly PMF 10/10) and rotating fields (RMF 50 Hz) significantly improved both transdermal permeation and dermal accumulation. These enhancements correlated with increased solubility, suggesting that EMFs may modulate molecular interactions with biological barriers. In contrast, static fields with negative polarity reduced the transport and retention of drugs in skin tissue. This study confirms the potential of electromagnetic stimulation as a non-invasive and effective strategy for enhancing the dermal delivery of poorly permeable active substances, such as ketoprofen. Optimization of EMF parameters may provide a promising direction for the development of advanced transdermal drug delivery systems.
