In vivo and in vitro assessment of the bleaching effectiveness of a brush-off patch containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy of a brush-off patch containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide, which is a new over-the-counter (OTC) product for tooth whitening, and determine the optimal protocol for use. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe performed an in vitro study using hydroxyapatite specimens and a clinical trial involving 140 volunteers. The brush-off patch was applied to the specimens (in vitro) or the maxillary anterior teeth (in vivo; 14 days) for 10 min twice daily (case 10 group) or 30 min once daily (case 30 group). We also included control groups in both experiments. Lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) values were measured using a colorimeter. In the in vivo study, color changes were measured at baseline and 7 and 14 days after the start of patch application. The overall color change (ΔE) was statistically analyzed.
resultsIn the in vitro study, the color change (ΔE*) after the experiment was significantly different between the two case groups and the control group (p < 0.001). In the in vivo study, the case groups showed color changes at both 7 and 14 days after patch application. In particular, the change in the case 30 group was significantly more prominent on day 14 than on day 7 (p < 0.05).
conclusionOur findings suggest that brush-off patches containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide are effective OTC products for tooth whitening. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: For best results, brush-off patches containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide can be applied once daily for 30 min.
