Biomaterials for Improving Skin Penetration in Treatment of Skin Cancer.
Review in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Skin cancer is among the most common malignancies worldwide, posing a significant societal burden due to its increasing incidence and its limited responsiveness to conventional topical therapies. Treatment is challenged by the presence of the skin barrier which restricts drug penetration. This review discusses the structural and physiological challenges of topical delivery and summarizes efforts to develop functional biomaterials to enhance skin drug penetration. Important aspects to consider when developing formulation strategies, such as drug properties and release mechanisms, are discussed alongside current limitations and future perspectives.
