Impact of sintering speed and surface finishing on translucency, mechanical, microstructural and surface properties of monolithic zirconia restorations.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sintering speed and surface finishing on the optical, mechanical, microstructural, and surface properties of monolithic zirconia ceramics with different yttria content. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree different zirconia materials (Katana UTML, Katana STML, DD Cube Bio ZX
resultsThe applied sintering speed, clinical adjustment, and aging processes did not produce a statistically significant effect on flexural strength (p = 0.245) or translucency (p = 0.478). The phase content of Katana UTML was not influenced by sintering speed or clinical adjustment either before or after aging. For the Katana STML material, phase content was unaffected by sintering speed and clinical adjustment prior to aging, but the monoclinic phase was detected in the structure after aging. In the DD Cube Bio ZX
conclusionSpeed sintering, surface finishing, and aging did not significantly affect the translucency or flexural strength of monolithic zirconia. Polishing kits designed for zirconia can be used after speed sintering. Higher yttria content improved translucency, grain size, cubic phase, and aging resistance, but reduced flexural strength and monoclinic phase after aging.
