Don't judge an implant by its cover: how the foreign body response and fibrotic capsule might be harnessed for good.
Review in npj biomedical innovations, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Biomaterials are widely used, yet when implanted, they elicit a complex reaction from the host called the foreign body response (FBR). Although the FBR is typically viewed as a deleterious response to implants, many potential benefits of the FBR have recently been identified. This review highlights the variety of ways that the FBR has been harnessed for positive outcomes, including tissue engineering and disease monitoring.
