Multifunctional Smart Bone Implants: Fiction or Future?-A New Perspective.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Implantable medical devices have been developed to provide multifunctional ability to numerous bioapplications. In the scope of orthopaedics, four methodologies were already proposed to design implant technologies: non-instrumented passive implants, non-instrumented active implants, instrumented passive implants and instrumented active implants. Even though bone replacements are among the most performed surgeries worldwide, implant failure rates can still exceed 10%. Controversial positions multiply in the scientific community about the potential of each methodology to minimize the burden related to implant failures. In this perspective paper, we argue that the next technological revolution in the field of implantable bone devices will most likely emerge with instrumented active implants as multifunctional smart devices extracorporeally controlled by clinicians/surgeons. Moreover, we provide a new perspective about implant technology: the essence of instrumented implants is to enclose a hybrid architecture in which optimal implant performances require both smart instrumentation and smart coatings, although the implant controllability must be ensured by extracorporeal systems.
