Regulations of organism by materials: a new understanding of biological inorganic chemistry.
Review in Journal of biological inorganic chemistry : JBIC : a publication of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chemical biology generally highlights the modulation or control of life processes using chemical molecules. However, the rapid development of materials' science has resulted in the increasing application of various functional materials in biological regulation. More importantly, the state of art of creating the integration of materials, either the inorganic or organic matrices, with living organisms has opened a window of opportunity to add the multiplex function to organisms. In this review, we suggest a new concept of materials' biology that refers to promoting functional evolution of living organisms using material-based modification of structures, functions, and behaviors of biological organisms, which could change the modification of organisms from the current molecular-level regulation to materials' level. Thus, this review focuses on the recent achievements of material-based modification of organisms that evolves the biological function of cells, bacteria, and viruses using biomimetic strategies. The bioinspired strategies for material-based modification, including layer-by-layer, biomimetic mineralization, interfacial reactive deposition, etc., are briefly introduced. Furthermore, the interaction between materials and organisms has performed a broad function that is not retained by organisms at their native state, which results in the applications in structural support, protection, environment control, energy, vaccine improvement, and cancer treatment. The significance of material-based regulations of organism is to use rationally designed materials to endow new physiological functions to organisms, which provides another perspective to understand biological inorganic chemistry. The roles of materials in chemical regulations of biology are highlighted. New characteristics as well as functions can be achieved by integration the rationally designed materials onto/into living organisms, following material-assisted biological improvement/evolution.
