Biodegradable Zinc-Based Alloys for Guided Bone Regeneration Membranes: Feasibility, Current Status, and Future Prospects.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 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
The guided bone regeneration (GBR) technique is an effective method for treating inadequate alveolar ridge bone mass. The choice of barrier membrane materials plays a crucial role in the success of this technique. Recently, biodegradable zinc (Zn)-based metallic barrier membranes have been extensively investigated as a novel option for alveolar bone defect repair. Although in vitro and animal studies using Zn-based GBR membranes have shown some promising results, it remains uncertain whether these successes can be replicated in humans. In this review article, the clinical requirements for GBR membranes are discussed and the feasibility of Zn-based alloys as a potential new option is assessed. Current advancements in the development of Zn-based GBR membranes through alloying, surface modification, composite methods, and additive manufacturing techniques are also summarized. Importantly, several challenges persist, including stress corrosion, creep, and the need to balance osteogenesis with antimicrobial efficacy, which must be addressed in future studies. Overall, Zn-based barrier membranes represent a biodegradable and multifunctional solution for enhancing bone regeneration in dental applications.
