Effects of Substructure Color and Restoration Thickness on the Final Color of Ultra-Translucent Zirconia Ceramics.

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 in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of substructure color and restoration thickness on the final color of shade-gradient ultra-translucent zirconia ceramics. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 180 flat-shaped ultra-translucent zirconia specimens (5Y-PSZ) with thicknesses of 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm (n = 60) were fabricated and cemented onto composite substructures in six colors (A1, A2, B1, B2, C2, D2). Color parameters were measured before and after cementation, and color differences (ΔE
resultsSubstructure color and restoration thickness had significant effects on ΔE
conclusionsRestoration thickness and substructure color significantly influenced the final color of shade-gradient zirconia ceramics. A2 provided better color matching, while B2 required a minimum thickness of 0.8 mm for acceptable results. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Increased zirconia thickness enhances masking of darker substructures. Additionally, the influence of the substructure color must be carefully considered, particularly in thinner ultra-translucent zirconia ceramics, to ensure predictable, harmonious color matching.
