Additive manufacturing of zinc-based biomaterials: Fabrication, performance and property evaluation.
Article in Journal of materials research and technology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The use of zinc and its alloys in additive manufacturing has become an important focus in interventional medical field. This is because zinc as an implant is naturally degradable, has solid mechanical characteristics, and is biocompatible. Biodegradable Zn-based metals made with additive manufacturing offer significant advantages in creating personalized medical implants. This review aims to provide an overview of different types of additive manufacturing methods and processes that can be used in the fabrication of Zn-based medical implants. It offers a comprehensive understanding of additive-manufactured Zn-based alloys for interventional surgeries. The study also summarizes the relationships between degradation properties, mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and biocompatibility of additive-manufactured Zn-based biomaterials prepared via different fabrication techniques. Additionally, the review analyses various strategies for overcoming core challenges associated with Zn-based medical implants prepared by additive manufacturing. Finally, the review also proposes future directions for addressing biodegradability and biocompatibility in additive-manufactured Zn-based materials for scaffolding and orthopaedic implant applications. Overall, this study serves as a foundation for future research into the design of biodegradable Zn-based alloys, specifically for tissue scaffolding and bone repairs, and provides insights into their clinical prospects.
