Osseointegration properties of niobia-modified yttria-stabilized zirconia implant surface: an
Article in The journal of advanced prosthodontics, 2025. 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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the osseointegration effects of niobia-modified yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia ((Y,Nb)-TZP) implants, compared to titanium implants and 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) implants in a rabbit tibia model. MATERIALS AND
methodsSandblasted (Y,Nb)-TZP implants (YNb), sandblasted and acid-etched titanium implants (SLA), and smooth-surface 3D-printed 3Y-TZP implants (3Y) were prepared. Surface characteristics of the specimens were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Implants were inserted into the tibiae of 16 rabbits, with eight rabbits euthanized at each time point (2 and 6 weeks). To estimate periodic bone remodeling, tetracycline and xylenol orange were administered to the rabbits euthanized at 6 weeks. Undecalcified specimens were prepared to measure the periodic bone remodeling ratio (PBR), bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area (BA). Data analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test at a significance level of 0.05.
resultsAt both the 2-week and 6-week intervals, YNb group exhibited significantly higher BIC values than the SLA and 3Y groups. No significant differences (
conclusionSandblasted (Y,Nb)-TZP implants indicated superior osseointegration in comparison to SLA titanium and smooth-surface 3D-printed 3Y-TZP implants. The enhanced osseointegration observed in this study supports the clinical potential of (Y,Nb)-TZP as a next-generation zirconia implant material.
