1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To evaluate whether the depth and translucency of the restoration influence the color matching of single-color resin composites, cylindrical cavities (2-and-4 mm depths) were prepared in acrylic teeth 62 shade (n=10). Restorations were performed with single-shade resin composites (OC: Omnichroma, Tokuyama; VU: Vittra APS Unique, FGM) and a control multi-shade (EO: Estelite Omega, Tokuyama). The color matching was measured in instrumental analysis (CIEDE2000 color difference formula (ΔE00)) and visual analysis (0 to 4 scale). The translucency of discs (2-and-4mm thickness) was obtained by color difference (ΔE00) between black and white background. Two-way ANOVA followed by the post-hoc Tukey's test was used to evaluate instrumental analysis, and Kruskal-Wallis followed by the post-hoc Tukey's test to evaluate color matching with a significance level of 5%. Restoration depths affected the ΔE00 values of OC and VU (p<0.05) (higher ΔE00 values for 4-mm depth and higher for OC and VU (p< 0.05)). The restoration depths did not influence the color matching in the visual analysis. VU and OC showed higher translucency scores than EO. At 2 mm, OC showed higher translucency values and there was no difference between OC and VU at 4 mm (p <0.05). The color matching of OC and VU was influenced by depth (instrumental analysis). While the OC had a similar color matching to EO at both depths, VU had the best color matching in both depths in the visual analysis. Single-shade materials had greater translucency than EO at different depths, and the translucency decreased with increasing depth.
