Color Match of Single-Shade Versus Multi-Shade Resin Composites: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo address the following PICOS question: Can single-shade resin composites achieve a color match comparable to multi-shade composites in tooth restoration? MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across multiple electronic databases to identify in vitro and clinical studies evaluating the color match in tooth restoration, in terms of CIELAB (ΔE
resultsAfter initial screening, 15 in vitro studies and 4 RCTs met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis, with 8 in vitro studies selected for quantitative analysis. The majority of in vitro studies were classified as medium risk of bias, while RCTs were ranked as low risk of bias. Meta-analyses performed on in vitro studies revealed that single-shade composites exhibited statistically significant higher color differences with the surrounding tooth structure compared to multi-shade composites, for both ΔE
conclusionsThis systematic review concluded that multi-shade composites provide a more accurate color match between tooth and direct restoration than single-shade materials when evaluated by instrumental analysis in laboratory settings. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Multi-shade composites exhibit superior color match properties in laboratory studies. However, single-shade composites are a promising alternative when observed visually in clinical settings.
