Zirconium dioxide implants as an alternative to titanium: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThis systematic review evaluates the available scientific literature to demonstrate the aesthetic and clinical benefits and to determine the survival and the success of zirconium dioxide implants concerning titanium implants. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe electronic databases were searched until January 2020. Outcome measures were pink aesthetic score (PAS), white aesthetic score (WAS), bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing depth (PD). The addressed PICO question was: In partially edentulous patients in the upper-anterior sector, do zirconium dioxide implants provide aesthetic benefits over conventional titanium implants?
resultsIn the 15 articles included after the screening were evaluated respectively, the pink aesthetic score, white aesthetics score, the peri-implant, and crown index, bleeding on probing, plaque index, probing pocket depth, radiographic bone loss, papilla height, and survival and success rate. The results show how the aesthetic and clinical benefits and the survival and success rate of zirconium dioxide implants are, in general, better than titanium implants.
conclusionsDespite the optimal aesthetics, clinical and survival results obtained in the review, more studies are needed to confirm these data.
