Continuous operation of battery-free implants enables advanced fracture recovery monitoring.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Substantial hurdles in achieving a digitally connected body with seamless, chronic, high-fidelity organ interfaces include challenges of sourcing energy and ensuring reliable connectivity. Operation is currently limited by batteries that occupy large volumes. Wireless, battery-free operation is therefore paramount, requiring a system-level solution that enables seamless connection of wearable and implantable devices. Here, we present a technological framework that enables wireless, battery-free implant operation in freely moving subjects, with streaming of high-fidelity information from low-displacement, battery-free implants with little user interaction. This is accomplished using at-distance wirelessly recharged, wearable biosymbiotic devices for powering and communication with fully implantable NFC-enabled implants. We demonstrate this capability with osseosurface electronics that stream bone health insight. Eleven-month-long large animal studies highlight the ability of implants to relay information on bone health without negative impact on the subjects. Clinical translatability is shown through fracture healing studies that demonstrate biomarkers of bone union.
