Recent advances in dental zirconia: 15 years of material and processing evolution.
Review in Dental materials : official publication of the Academy of Dental Materials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 papers, 3 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
objectivesThe objective was to discuss the research on zirconia published in the past 15 years to help the dental materials community understand the key properties of the types of zirconia and their clinical applications.
methodsA literature search was performed in May/2023 using Web of Science Core Collection with the term "dental zirconia". The search returned 5102 articles, which were categorized into 31 groups according to the research topic.
resultsThe current approach to improving the translucency of zirconia is to decrease the alumina content while increasing the yttria content. The resulting materials (4Y-, 5Y-, and above 5 mol% PSZs) may contain more than 50% of cubic phase, with a decrease in mechanical properties. The market trend for zirconia is the production of CAD/CAM disks containing more fracture resistant 3Y-TZP at the bottom layers and more translucent 5Y-PSZ at the top. Although flaws located between layers in multilayered blocks might represent a problem, newer generations of zirconia layered blocks appear to have solved this problem with novel powder compaction technology. Significant advancements in zirconia processing technologies have been made, but there is still plenty of room for improvement, especially in the fields of high-speed sintering and additive manufacturing. SIGNIFICANCE: The wide range of zirconia materials currently available in the market may cause confusion in materials selection. It is therefore imperative for dental clinicians and laboratory technicians to get the needed knowledge on zirconia material science, to follow manufacturers' instructions, and to optimize the design of the prosthetic restoration with a good understanding where to reinforce the structure with a tough and strong zirconia.
