NIR-Responsive ZIF-8 Metal-Organic Framework Nanohybrids with Photothermal, Antimicrobial, and Osteoinductive Properties to Prevent Implant Infection.
Article in Macromolecular bioscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Current treatments for bone injuries face notable limitations such as adverse reactions to implant materials and increased risks of infection. There is an essential need for a therapeutic that will address these issues and decrease recovery times. Herein, a multifunctional nanohybrid zinc-based metal-organic framework integrated with gold nanoparticles (Au@ZIF-8) is synthesized to promote antibacterial and osteogenic benefits. Au@ZIF-8 is capable of converting light energy into heat and has demonstrated its ability to increase the surrounding temperature by ≈30 °C. As a result, Au@ZIF-8 has exhibited bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) upon exposure to near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. Concurrently, Au@ZIF-8 sustains the release of zinc ions from the nanohybrid for the potential of bone repair. When combined with a gelatin-based hydrogel, Au@ZIF-8 significantly elevated osteogenic gene expression and promoted preosteoclast differentiation through the sustained zinc ion release, as opposed to a gel-only control. The potential of the multifunctional nanohybrid is further demonstrated as a coating material for titanium orthopedic implants to introduce antibacterial properties and promote osteogenic differentiation of preosteoblasts for bone healing. Given its excellent antibacterial in response to NIR irradiation and osteogenic abilities, Au@ZIF-8 is a promising photothermal therapy for bone injuries.
