The Frequency of Dental Materials Use for Fixed Prostheses in a General Dental Practice.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the frequency of dental materials use for fixed prosthesis depending on the location of the teeth, the restorative prosthetic type, the age and sex of the patients from a dental practice in Essen, Germany. The analysis of the collected data showed that zirconia is currently the most common material for making dental fixed prostheses, a larger number of prosthetic elements for women and a significant increase for these restorations at ages over 40 years. Most of the prosthetic elements were made in the mandibular molar area, with an increased frequency of zirconia bridges in the mandible, while for the upper jaw the number of crowns was higher. Zirconia was more frequent used in female patients and in the age group 60-69.
