Comparative evaluation of two techniques of shade matching - VITA shade guide under color-corrected light and digital application DentHue with VITA shade guide under natural light: A double blind, randomized control trial.

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
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare two techniques of shade matching using VITA shade guide under color-corrected light and mobile application DentHue with VITA shade guide under natural light. Materials and Methods: 100 subjects were selected for the study. The visual assessment was based on a comparison between a shade guide and the target tooth. The shade of the tooth was assessed using VITA classical shade guide in natural daylight, using VITA shade guide with a color-corrected light (true light) and a mobile application DentHue. The shade matching using color-corrected light and with the application was compared with that done by VITA shade guide. Results: It was found that there were 69 (69%) correct identifications of the shade when matched under color-corrected light while 31 (31%) were incorrectly identified. It was also found that there were 38 (38%) correct identifications performed by DentHue while there were 62 (62%) incorrect identifications of the shade. This difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The use of color-corrected light demonstrated superior accuracy in shade matching using the VITA shade guide as compared to DentHue.
