Clinical Performance of Template-assisted Monochromatic Structural Colored Versus Universal Multishade Direct Composite Veneers Over 3 Years: A Randomized Clinical 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
Background: We conducted a clinical trial using a modified split-mouth, double-blind, randomized approach to clinically assess template-assisted monochromatic structural colored versus universal multishade direct composite veneers over a 36-month period.Materials and Methods: A total of 88 direct composite veneers from 20 participants were included per the inclusion criteria. Each patient received at least one pair of the two types of direct veneers in two equal groups (n = 44): (group I): monochromatic structural colored veneer (OMNICHROMA) with palfique adhesive and (group II): universal multishade veneer (Ceram.x spectra) with Prime & Bond adhesive using U-veneer templates. Window-type veneer preparations were performed on the labial surface of anterior teeth (depth: 0.3-0.5 mm). Clinical assessment was conducted per modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. The marginal integrity criterion was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy of an inverse replica of 32 randomly selected veneer restorations. Results: The Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests revealed significant differences between group I and group II in marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, surface texture, and color match ( Conclusions: Monochromatic structurally colored and universal multishade direct composite resin veneers demonstrated comparable satisfactory clinical performance by the end of the study period.
