Evaluation of zirconia ceramics fabricated through DLP 3d printing process for dental applications.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Zirconia ceramics are versatile materials with remarkable properties such as a high thermal resistance, high fracture strength, and low thermal conductivity. They are chemically inert and highly wear- and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in the aerospace, automotive, and biomedical fields. In dentistry, zirconia ceramics are used for veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants because of their biocompatibility. Despite the various benefits of zirconia ceramics, they are difficult to process because of their high hardness and brittleness. Additive manufacturing (AM) has proven to be a viable alternative to conventional fabrication processes, particularly for the processing of difficult-to-cut materials. AM of ceramics has gained significant attention in recent years because of its flexibility and ability to produce customized geometries rapidly and economically. In this study, the digital light processing (DLP) technique was employed to 3D print yttria-stabilized zirconia. The fabricated zirconia was evaluated and characterized for use in dental applications. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) were performed on the green body to assess the decomposition of the additives in the slurry and determine the debinding temperatures. The as-built parts were subjected to debinding and sintering to obtain fully dense zirconia parts. The parts tended to shrink after sintering; therefore, the shrinkage ratios were evaluated and found to be 1.2817, 1.2900, and 1.3388 in the x-, y-, and z-directions, respectively. The average density after sintering was 6.031 g/cc. The flexural strength determined using four-point bending tests was 451.876 MPa, and the tensile and compressive strengths were 143 MPa and 298.4 MPa, respectively.
