Ultrasound-Responsive Antibacterial Surfaces on Titanium Alloys: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of functional biomaterials, 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
Ultrasound-responsive antibacterial therapies represent a cutting-edge approach to combating implant-associated infections, particularly advantageous because of ultrasound's non-invasive nature, deep penetration, and ability to target infected areas. However, most previous studies have been devoted to ultrasound-responsive nanomaterials, hydrogels, and polymer systems. Research on ultrasound-responsive surfaces on titanium remains in its early stages and is extremely limited. This review primarily focuses on the design principles and construction strategies for ultrasound-responsive antibacterial surfaces on titanium-based implants, key factors affecting acoustic energy conversion efficiency, and the approaches to enhance antibacterial efficiencies. Based on acoustic energy conversion mechanisms and the primary factors responsible for bacterial killing, this review classifies antibacterial surfaces into sonothermal surfaces, sonodynamic surfaces, and multimodal combined surfaces. Moreover, this review discusses perspectives and challenges regarding biocompatibility, long-term antibacterial activity after implantation, and future clinical translation.
