A rapid-release pure iodine coating on titanium implants to mitigate acute periprosthetic infections.

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
Background: Periprosthetic infections remain a significant challenge in orthopedic surgeries, primarily due to bacterial biofilm formation on implant surfaces. To address this issue, we developed a novel iodine-based coating on titanium implants designed to rapidly release iodine, thereby preventing acute infections. The efficacy and safety of this coating were assessed through both Methods: The iodine coating was applied to titanium implants using electrophoretic deposition. The coated implants were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results: The electrophoretic deposition technique successfully produced a uniform iodine coating with high iodine content and rapid release kinetics. Conclusion: This study introduces a promising iodine-based coating for titanium implants, offering a rapid and effective solution to prevent acute periprosthetic infections while maintaining biocompatibility and supporting bone healing.
