A Sneak Peek Toward Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) Polymer: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Metals, acrylics, zirconia, and other such materials have been conventionally used in dentistry. The development of polymers has facilitated significant changes in clinical dentistry. High-performance polymer materials are at the forefront of dentistry. Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) is a biocompatible polycyclic, aromatic, thermoplastic polymer having good mechanical and thermal properties. It has two members: polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK). The difference in the ratio and structure of ether to ketone group affects the melting point and glass transition temperature. PEEK and PEKK have a high impact with their physical and mechanical characteristics similar to that of the bone and mimic the natural tooth structure. It can be used as a substitute for metals and other materials owing to its non-allergic properties and acceptable aesthetics. Currently, to modify the properties of both materials, additives were used. This semicrystalline structure does not provide any kind of mutagenicity and cytotoxicity. This review provides insight into the properties and applications of polymer in dentistry and the medical field as well. There is room for metal-free restorations in modern dental practice due to the rising demand for aesthetics, a few disadvantages with existing materials, and clinicians changing their paradigms toward metal-free restorations. The objective of this review is to provide a thorough understanding of PEEK and PEKK and their multiple uses in prosthetic, implant frameworks, abutments, crowns, and ortho wires, as well as in restorative dentistry, while demonstrating their potential for clinical applications.
