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 describe a hybrid approach for a metal-ceramic anterior crown, combining traditional ceramic layering with a chairside staining technique guided by recipes generated using an artificial intelligence-based software. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The clinical case presented a step-by-step protocol from both laboratory and clinical perspectives for the replacement of a single anterior metal-ceramic crown in a 32-year-old male patient dissatisfied with crown color and gingival darkening. Clinical examination revealed a slight color mismatch, shape discrepancy, and inadequate gingival adaptation, with a metal post-and-core contributing to the darkened appearance. The final color reproduction was achieved using a chairside staining approach (Vintage Art Universal, Shofu, Kyoto, Japan) guided by Matisse recipes (Labmatisse BV, Wijchen, The Netherlands). This approach reduced treatment time and cost while achieving an optimal esthetic outcome on the first attempt, with a color difference (0.5 units) below the ΔE
conclusionsThe hybrid approach proved feasible for integrating laboratory procedures with chairside staining protocols. This strategy resulted in an esthetically satisfactory outcome for an anterior metal-ceramic crown, highlighting the potential of artificial intelligence-driven staining solutions. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The artificial intelligence-assisted chairside staining approach offers clinicians and dental technicians a practical tool for achieving accurate color reproduction in ceramic materials. Applicable to both layered and monolithic restorations, this technique enhances esthetic outcomes while improving treatment efficiency.
