Chemical painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy induced by dental bleaching: A case report.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2024. 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: Teeth whitening is a frequent request in clinical practice. The most widely used whitening agent on vital teeth is carbamide peroxide. This article reports a rare adverse effect following a whitening procedure. Case description: A 29-year-old patient was referred to the dental emergency department for severe pain that exhibited the characteristics of neuropathic pain. In the absence of any visible lesion or traumatic event, this pain was linked to the recent application of carbamide peroxide (10%) during a bleaching procedure. The diagnosis of painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PTTN) of chemical origin was made. Treatment with the anticonvulsant gabapentin (900mg per day) gradually reduced the pain until its complete disappearance. After presenting the clinical characteristics of the case, the pathophysiological hypotheses are discussed. Practical implications: Carbamide peroxide application may elicit nerve damage through a cascade of cellular and biological reactions, resulting in neuropathic pain. The successful management of this clinical case may provide useful information for similar situations.
