Clinical outcome of translucent zirconia and metal-ceramic posterior crowns in a digital workflow: A 5-year prospective randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of prosthodontics : official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, 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
purposeTo evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of translucent monolithic zirconia (TMZ) and metal-ceramic (MC) posterior crowns fabricated with digital workflow over a 5-year observation period. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty-two patients, in need of a posterior crown, were included in the study and randomly divided into 2 groups to receive either TMZ or MC crowns (n = 30 each). The restorations were fabricated with a digital workflow and cemented with resin cement. The clinical outcomes and periodontal parameters were assessed at baseline and yearly for 5 years. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Friedman test, and Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsThe survival rate at 5 years was 100% for both groups. Mechanical complications were detected in the MC group due to minor ceramic chipping. No biological complications were observed. All crowns were assessed as satisfactory in both groups. A significant variation in gingival index (GI) scores was observed in both groups throughout the observation period.
conclusionsTranslucent monolithic zirconia may be considered a reliable alternative to MC posterior crowns within the assessed follow-up period. The digital workflow provided satisfactory clinical performance.
