Piezoelectric sterilization techniques: from innovations to applications.
Review in Frontiers in chemistry, 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
Piezoelectric materials have emerged as promising non-thermal, chemical-free sterilization agents, offering clear advantages over traditional methods such as heat, UV, or disinfectants. Their antimicrobial activity arises from direct microbial membrane disruption and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation under mechanical stimuli like ultrasound or vibration via piezodynamic reactions. These approaches preserve material integrity, making them ideal for implants, wound dressings, and biofilm prevention. Recent advances focus on enhancing piezoelectricity via defect engineering, dopants, and band structure optimization to improve ROS production. This review highlights progress in piezoelectric materials as smart, sustainable antimicrobial platforms with broad biomedical and environmental applications.
