Evaluation of color matching of single-shade resin composites with different background shades: an in vitro study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Contemporary single-shade resin composites claim to match all 16 VITA Classical shades using a single universal shade, simplifying clinical procedures and reducing technique sensitivity. This study aims to comparatively evaluate the color-matching potential of various single-shade resin composites against different background shades simulated using conventional resin composites. Four single-shade resin composites-Omnichroma, Zenchroma, Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Universal, and Vittra APS Unique-were evaluated against three conventional background shades (A1, A2, A3; G-aenial, GC). Color measurements were conducted using a spectrophotometer, and color differences (ΔE₀₀) were calculated according to the CIEDE2000 formula. Visual assessments were performed by independent observers, and CAP-I and CAP-V values were determined accordingly. Statistical analysis was carried out using a two-way and three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of α = 0.05. Material type and background shade had a significant effect on both CAP-I and CAP-V values (p < 0.05). ΔE₀₀ values tended to increase from A1 to A3 in all composites. Zenchroma exhibited the lowest CAP-V at A1, while Omnichroma showed the highest at A3. The color-matching potential of the tested materials depends on both the type of composite and the background shade. Among the materials studied, Vittra APS Unique demonstrated the highest color-matching potential and the most noticeable shade adaptation. These findings may guide material selection in clinical practice. The color-matching performance of single-shade composites depends on the material and background shade, directly influencing material selection in esthetic restorations.
