Functionalized bio-patches for intra-abdominal applications.
Review in iScience, 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
Functionalized bio-patches, as a pivotal innovation in biomedical engineering, hold significant promise for tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Advances in emerging biomaterials and fabrication technologies have transformed these patches into multifunctional platforms. This review highlights recent advancements in the development of functional biomaterials for bio-patch fabrication. Natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and composite polymer systems are widely employed in bio-patch construction. The review then outlines the translational applications of bio-patches in abdominal wall reconstruction, gastrointestinal repair, urinary tract restoration, and vascular regeneration. Finally, the review discusses the future directions and technical challenges associated with next-generation smart bio-patches, emphasizing functional modification, mechanical optimization, and degradation control. Collectively, this review aims to provide a comprehensive yet practical reference for biomaterials researchers and clinicians to guide material selection, patch engineering, and translational decision-making.
