Research progress of implantable materials in antibacterial treatment of bone infection.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Bone infection is an infectious disease characterized by the accumulation of various pathogens in bone tissue, often causing significant suffering to patients. Current therapeutic approaches for bone infections predominantly rely on the postoperative application of implantable antibacterial materials, highlighting their essential role in clinical treatment. In this review, we systematically analyze research progress in antibacterial implant materials for Bone infection from 2019 to 2025. Materials are classified into four categories based on matrix composition: metal-based composite implants, bioceramic-based composite implants, polymer-based composite implants, and other composite implant materials, with dedicated focus on the limitations of each material type. The deterioration effects of these materials are also thoroughly analyzed. Finally, we present our own insights regarding future development directions of antibacterial implant materials. This review aims to provide practical references and research perspectives for advancing antibacterial implant material development.
