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

Transdermal drug delivery relies heavily on the skin permeability of therapeutic agents. In order to develop a peptide-based delivery strategy for promoting transdermal absorption, the key physicochemical factors influencing skin permeability are first identified through cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) screening and computational simulation. Penetratin exhibits the most outstanding permeability and safety among CPPs from various origins, and positive surface patch area emerges as the key property correlated with skin permeability of the peptides. Based on these findings, a precise model to predict skin permeability of the peptides is established, leading to the computational redesign of penetratin's amino acid sequence. The transdermal delivery efficiency of optimized penetratin derivative (589WP) is significantly improved
