Effect of lights with various wavelengths on bleaching by 30% hydrogen peroxide.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The objective of this study was to evaluate the bleaching effect of light sources with various wavelengths using 30% hydrogen peroxide (HP) in vitro. The hematoporphyrin-stained paper was bleached with HP and irradiated for 10 min using LED light sources with 265, 310, 365, 405, or 450 nm respectively. In control group, HP was applied for 10 min without light irradiation. The bleaching procedure was repeated two times. The L*a*b* values of the samples before bleaching and after each bleaching step were measured using a colorimeter. Color changes of specimens were then calculated and statistically analyzed. There was an interaction between light sources and time of irradiation in the color change (p < 0.05). Time and light sources significantly affected ΔE and ΔL (p < 0.05). The light source of 256 nm showed the highest bleaching effect over time followed by that of 310 nm, which were statistically different from other groups (p < 0.001). The 365 nm, 450 nm groups, and control group showed low bleaching effect visually with no significant differences in ΔE and ΔL (p > 0.05). It was concluded that the wavelengths of the light sources affected the bleaching by HP. The 310-nm light can be a potential source for bleaching.
