Metal-Free Custom-Made Zirconia Implants-A Prospective 5-Year Follow-Up Single-Arm Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundDental implants made of zirconia (ZrO
aimThe aim of this study was to describe and to examine the clinical performance of custom-made two-piece ZrO MATERIAL AND
methodsOf the 31 included patients in this prospective 5-year follow-up single-arm clinical trial, 30 received a custom-made ZrO
resultsSurvival and success probabilities after 5 years were, respectively, 75.8% (95% CI [60.0%; 91.0%]) and 71.0% (95% CI [54.0%; 88.0%]) for the custom-made ZV3 implants. No significant differences in survival rate were found after stratification on "manipulation of the implant" and on "occlusal scheme." Mean bone-level alteration between baseline and the first follow-up was +0.06 mm (95% CI [-0.23 mm; 0.12 mm]; SD = 0.42 mm) and between baseline and the second follow-up was +0.04 mm (95% CI [-0.35 mm; 0.26 mm]; SD = 0.54 mm). Patients' satisfaction for patients with implants still in function after 5 years was 91.7% (IQR = [90.5%-97.3%]), indicating satisfaction with the treatment. Pooled satisfaction in patients with successful implants after 5 years was significantly higher than patients' expressed expectations before treatment. None of the crowns failed, and no interventions were required. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Survival rate of these particular ZV3 implants in our study was lower than expected and clinically not acceptable. Hence, ZV3 implant placement as applied in this study cannot be recommended for clinical practice. Further research on the different appearances of mechanical failure in ZrO
