Antibacterial performance of biomimetic hydroxyapatite-functionalized titanium surfaces against
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2026. 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
Background: Peri-implantitis, driven by bacterial biofilm formation on implant surfaces, remains a leading cause of dental implant failure. Surface modification strategies that combine antibacterial properties with biocompatibility are therefore of considerable clinical interest. This Methods: Commercially available grade 2 titanium discs were divided into HA-coated (Ti-HA) and uncoated (Ti) groups ( Results: Ti-HA surfaces demonstrated substantial antibacterial efficacy across all conditions, with CFU reductions ranging from 97.9% to 99.7% against both Conclusions: These findings provide proof-of-concept evidence that sputtered HA-coated titanium surfaces offer potent antibacterial activity against single and polymicrobial biofilms. While supporting the potential of this dual-function strategy to combine antibacterial protection with osteoconductivity, clinical translation requires further validation under simulated oral conditions that includes salivary pellicle formation and physiological loading as well as comprehensive
