Preparation methods, mechano-bactericidal performance and mechanisms of Ti-based nanostructure arrays: A review.
Review in Discover nano, 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
Medical titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely employed in biomedical field, but Ti-based implants are prone to bacterial biofilm contamination, leading to implant failure. Nanostructure arrays, as a new strategy, exhibit effective bactericidal performance and biofilm inhibition only by using their own morphological characteristics, drawing extensive attention. This review mainly summarizes the progress on natural and biomimetic mechano-bactericidal nanostructure arrays, as well as the various preparation techniques for Ti-based bactericidal nanostructured surfaces, and highlights the necessity of developing controllable preparation methods. Furthermore, the critical discussion of the underlying mechano-bactericidal mechanisms is presented, identifying the need for additional experimental data to refine bacterial modeling and elucidate the complex interplay between nanostructure arrays and bacterial cells. Finally, the challenges and opportunities for Ti materials with bactericidal nanostructure arrays as implants or clinical devices are analyzed as well.
