Approach to implant monitoring and data processing with digital implant lifecycle management.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Reducing implant failure rates is a primary research objective, involving the development of monitoring methods, new treatment options, improved manufacturing strategies, and innovative implant designs. The goal is to enhance product efficiency across generations by using information from previous iterations to improve patient outcomes. This paper aims to create an information management framework for implant-related data to enhance lifecycle monitoring. Strategies from product lifecycle management, condition-based maintenance, and the digital twin are applied to medical implant monitoring. The proposed digital implant lifecycle management concept records and processes data throughout the implant's lifecycle, from design and manufacturing to use and disposal. Implemented using an XML-data structure in simulation software, the concept focuses on manufacturing and monitoring, using total knee arthroplasty as an example. A simulation study demonstrates that the digital twin of the implant can simulate various manufacturing scenarios to optimize process parameters, reducing planning efforts for individual implants by up to 28%. The presented concept significantly improves implant and patient monitoring, enhances communication among stakeholders, and allows for scenario simulations to predict implant behaviour and improve future generations.
