Factors influencing the survival of implant-supported ceramic-ceramic prostheses: A randomized, controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThe goals of this research are: (1) to determine the clinical survival of ceramic-ceramic 3-unit implant supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) compared with control metal-ceramic and; (2) to analyze the effects of design parameters such as connector height, radius of curvature of gingival embrasure, and occlusal veneer thickness. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis randomized, controlled clinical trial enrolled 96 participants with 129 3-unit implant-supported FDPs. Participants were randomized to receive different design combinations to include FDP material, thickness of occlusal veneer ceramic, radius of curvature of gingival embrasure and connector height. Participants were recalled for 6 months, 1year and yearly thereafter for the next 5 years. FDPs were examined for evidence of fracture and radiographs were made to assess viability of implants. Fractographic analyses and Kaplan Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the data.
results27 FDPs, representing 21%, exhibited chipping fractures of the veneer during the 5-year observation period. There was no statistically significant effect of type of material, veneer thickness, radius of curvature of gingival embrasure and connector height on occurrence of fracture. Fractographic and occlusal analyses reveal that fractures originated from the occlusal surface and that occlusion was the most important factor in determining survival. Stresses calculated at failure demonstrated lower values compared with in vitro data.
conclusionImplant-supported ceramic-ceramic prosthesis is a viable alternative to metal-ceramic. Survival analysis for both materials were comparable and design parameters employed in this study did not affect survival as long as zirconia was used as the core material.
