Comparative Study of Dexamethasone-Loaded Thermoresponsive In Situ Gels and Polymeric Micelles for Ocular Drug Delivery.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Effective ocular drug delivery is still a challenge for pharmaceutical technologists due to the complex elimination mechanisms of the eye. In situ gels and polymeric micelles are among the pharmaceutical technologies that may enable us to overcome these challenges. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the ocular applicability of in situ gels and polymeric micelles, as well as their combinations, containing a steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, dexamethasone. The developed formulations were compared on the basis of their physicochemical characteristics, rheological behavior, mucoadhesion, in vitro drug release profile, and in vitro and ex vivo permeability. The developed formulations exhibited moderate stability according to the zeta potential measurements; however, they demonstrated appropriate mucoadhesion and sustained drug release. Furthermore, the results of the permeability studies suggest that combining thermoresponsive in situ gels and polymeric micelles represents a promising strategy for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of ocular drug delivery.
