Effects of laser irradiation and tooth mousse on tooth hypersensitivity after office bleaching: A non-randomized clinical trial.
Article in Dental research journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: This study aimed to assess the effect of laser irradiation and Tooth Mousse on tooth hypersensitivity (TH) after office bleaching (OB). Materials and Methods: This clinical trial, parallel-design split-mouth nonrandomized was conducted on 30 patients requiring OB. After scaling and fabrication of a custom tray, 35% hydrogen peroxide was applied on all teeth, and 940 nm diode laser (10 W, Class IV, 110-240 V) was irradiated to the upper and lower right quadrants. Laser in off mode was used for the left quadrants. Bleaching agent was then reapplied. After completion of bleaching, a custom tray containing tooth Mousse was placed on the maxillary arch while the tray was used without the paste for the mandibular arch. A visual analog scale was used to assess the degree of TH at 15 min and 24 h after OB. Data were compared using Results: Comparison of TH at 15 min and 24 h after OB showed a significantly lower TH score in the left upper quadrant (tooth Mousse alone) than right upper quadrant (both laser and Tooth Mousse) ( Conclusion: The use of 940 nm diode laser for OB increases the postoperative TH. The application of Tooth Mousse can effectively decrease TH after OB with/without laser irradiation.
