Current trends in digital shade matching - A scoping review.
Article in The Japanese dental science review, 2024. 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
Shade selection plays an important role in the success of any prosthesis and is largely influenced by technological advancements and societal trends, which emphasize the need for accurate shade selection. This scoping review aims to assess the accuracy of shade matching with any of the digital shade selection methods compared to the conventional method. This review employs PRISMA extension protocols for scoping review and search strategies based on keywords performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases. Two investigators (V.N. and S.B.V.) independently performed screening of the literature electronically in three databases. In vivo and in vitro studies which used digital shade selection methods were included in the study. A total of 29 articles which had used any method of digital shade selection were assessed. This scoping review concluded that the reliability and accuracy of various digital methods were comparable to that of conventional methods. Further research is suggested for the development of standalone, reliable and accurate methods for the use of digital shade analysis.
