Implant Infectious Diseases: An Introduction to Biomaterials for ID Physicians.
Review in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Implanted biomedical devices are becoming ubiquitous in the practice of medicine but are at risk for biofilm-related infection. The biomaterial composition of these devices can significantly affect their risk for infection. Biomaterials design is complex with compositional choices leading to different properties, including mechanical strength, biodegradation rate, and ability to locally release therapeutics. In this review, we introduce the field of "Implant Infectious Diseases," review practical biomaterial fundamentals for the infectious disease clinician, and apply these principles to case vignettes. This review serves as a primer for a broad infectious disease audience to better understand the role of biomaterials in medical devices and as therapeutics.
