A bioabsorbable body-coupling-electrotherapy suture.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sutures are pivotal medical devices for postoperative incision management. The inherent capacity of sutures to regulate wound healing and promote regeneration has the potential to significantly reduce patient discomfort and conserve medical resources. Here, we developed a bioabsorbable body-coupling electrotherapy suture that modulates healing from inflammation to remodeling, enabling healthy repair. The suture combines high tensile strength, flexibility, and degradability. The conversion of body-coupled electromagnetic energy through the suture enabled electrically synergistic therapeutic capabilities. By converting body-coupled electromagnetic energy, it provides synergistic therapy: dielectric polarization accelerates antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, while dielectric voltage difference enhances healing factor expression. This fully physical approach reduces reliance on silver nanoparticles. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed stable performance, achieving more than 1.43-fold improvement in healing efficiency compared with single-function sutures and reducing postoperative infections. Offering immobilization, stage-wide modulation, sustainability, and low energy demand, this technology represents a significant advancement in surgical practice.
