Nature-inspired biomaterial innovations to counter medical device-associated infections.
Review in Biomaterials science, 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 device-associated infections remain challenging in modern medicine because abiotic material surfaces are prone to bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, leading to high-level tolerance to antibiotics. The ineffectiveness of antibiotic therapy and the rapid rise of antimicrobial resistance have driven efforts to develop advanced material designs for medical devices. To meet biocompatibility and long-term performance needs, bio-inspired design has emerged as a promising strategy. From material composition and surface coating to surface texture, numerous designs have been engineered to reduce bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. To overcome the limitation of static surface modification against established biofilms, dynamic surface designs have also been pursued in recent years. Here, we review current bio-inspired surface designs for biofilm control and highlight emerging dynamic, multifunctional strategies for the next generation of infection-resistant medical devices.
