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

Clinical grade magnetic bead implants have important applications in interfacing with the human body, providing contactless mechanical attachment or wireless communication through human tissue. We recently developed a new strategy, magnetomicrometry, that uses magnetic bead implants as passive communication devices to wirelessly sense muscle tissue lengths. We manufactured clinical-grade magnetic bead implants and verified their biocompatibility via intramuscular implantation, cytotoxicity, sensitization, and intracutaneous irritation testing. In this work, we test the pyrogenicity of the magnetic bead implants via a lagomorph model, and we test the biocompatibility of the magnetic bead implants via a full chemical characterization and toxicological risk assessment. Further, we test the cleaning, sterilization, and dry time of the devices that are used to deploy these magnetic bead implants. We find that the magnetic bead implants are non-pyrogenic and biocompatible, with the insertion device determined to be safe to clean, sterilize, and dry in a healthcare setting. These results provide confidence for the safe use of these magnetic bead implants in humans.
