4D printing: innovative solutions and technological advances in orthopedic repair and reconstruction, personalized treatment and drug delivery.
Review in Biomedical engineering online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
With precise control of smart materials deformation in time dimension, doctors can customize orthopedic implants. This review focuses on the advances of 4D printing technology in orthopedics, including its applications in bone repair and reconstruction, personalized treatment, and drug delivery. 4D printing enables the creation of bionic scaffolds and fixation devices for bone repair, customized implants matching patients' conditions for personalized treatment, and specific carriers for accurate drug release and delivery, which together contribute to accelerating bone healing, providing exclusive treatments, enhancing therapeutic effects and reducing side effects, thus helping improve orthopedic medicine. It offers comprehensive reference materials for relevant medical personnel.
