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

Nanoparticle-based transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have emerged as a revolutionary approach for antiparasitic therapy, addressing key challenges such as poor bioavailability, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. This review highlights the advancements in nanotechnology-driven TDDS for combating zoonotic parasitic diseases, including leishmaniasis, malaria, and infections treated by broad-spectrum drugs like ivermectin and albendazole. By leveraging nanocarriers such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, and microneedles, which enhance skin permeation, enable controlled drug release, and improve targeting specificity. For instance, deformable transfersomes and ethosomes achieve high transdermal efficiency without chemical adjuvants, while microneedle arrays physically bypass the stratum corneum for precise delivery. Furthermore, sustained-release hydrogels and stimuli-responsive nanoparticles optimize therapeutic efficacy and reduce adverse effects. Despite promising results, clinical translation faces challenges in manufacturing scalability, long-term safety, and accessibility in resource-limited settings. Future directions include bioinspired nanocarriers, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven design, and integration with global health initiatives like "One Health", all aimed at ensuring equitable implementation. This review highlights the transformative potential of nanotechnology in achieving sustainable antiparasitic solutions for zoonotic diseases.
