The perception of tooth whitening practices during and after orthodontic treatment: A survey of orthodontists.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAt present, there are limited studies on how tooth whitening procedures are applied in orthodontic patients. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the perception of tooth whitening practices during and after orthodontic treatment. MATERIAL AND
methodsA survey of orthodontists in Medellín (Colombia) between January and October 2020 was carried out. The survey instrument was developed to obtain information regarding the perception and practices of tooth whitening during and after orthodontic treatment.
results133 orthodontists with a mean age of 41,6 years old participated in the survey. Over 60% of participants reported >6 years of experience as orthodontist. The majority (99,2%) reported that their patients request tooth whitening. Of these, 71,2% refer the patient to another dental professional for the procedure while 28,8% administers it. More than half of orthodontists reported that their patients request dental whitening during orthodontic treatment. The majority (>90%) of orthodontists do not recommend tooth whitening during orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, >80% consider that tooth whitening is best recommended after brackets have been removed.
conclusionsRequests for tooth whitening from orthodontic patients is very frequent and most orthodontists favor the referral to another dental professional for the procedure. The majority do not recommend tooth whitening during orthodontic treatment and prefer waiting 1 to 3 months after brackets removal for the procedure.
