Effect of opalescence in resin-based dental composites on the active color matching ability.
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
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the influence of opalescence in the color matching ability of dental composites.
methodsSingle-disc samples were prepared using 10 commercially available composites (6 conventional, 3 simplified-shade, and 1 single-shade). Dual-color samples were created using Omnichroma, Ceram.X Sphere TEC (A3 shade), and DenFil (B2/C2 shade), with various cavity diameters in the center, which were then filled with the aforementioned 10 composites. Additionally, single-color samples were prepared using the 4 base composites mentioned above. The ΔE
resultsTP and OP generally had a linear correlation, and ΔE
conclusionsThese findings highlight a potentially greater role for opalescence in the color matching ability of dental composites than previously acknowledged.
