1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 whiteness difference (WI MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 154 human premolars were randomly assigned to 11 groups (n = 14). The groups were divided into: Pola Office+ and Pola Rapid (SDI), and the following protocols: three applications of 8 min (3 × 8), two applications of 8 min (2 × 8), one application of 8 min (1 × 8), one application of 16 min (1 × 16), and one application of 24 min (1 × 24). These protocols were selected based on manufacturer recommendations and the aim of exploring simplified and alternative approaches applicable to clinical practice. One group served as a negative control. WI

conclusionAmong the evaluated protocols, the 2 × 8-min and 1 × 24-min applications provided the best balance between achieving significant whitening and minimizing hydrogen peroxide penetration into the pulp chamber, making them effective and safer alternatives for in-office bleaching. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Shorter application times (2 × 8 min) or a single prolonged application (1 × 24 min) provide effective alternatives for achieving excellent whitening index results. These protocols reduce hydrogen peroxide penetration into the pulp chamber while also shortening the overall procedure time, enhancing both safety and efficiency.
