An Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Novel Non-Peroxide, Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid Teeth Whitening Agent in Conjunction with 810-nm Diode Laser.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of a non-peroxide (PAP) teeth whitening agent activated by an 810-nm diode laser. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with mild to moderate stains (Lobene index) and tooth color shades A2-A3.5 were selected. After oral prophylaxis and polishing with Opalustre paste, the PAP whitening agent was applied to the labial surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth and activated using a diode laser. Assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately posttreatment, one month, and three months for gingival index, plaque index, Lobene stain index, tooth color (Vita shade guide and Cocolux), and hypersensitivity (VAS). Results: Tooth color showed significant improvement immediately and one month posttreatment; however, by three months, the color reverted to baseline levels. Conclusion: Laser-assisted PAP bleaching demonstrated significant initial whitening with minimal adverse effects, though long-term color stability requires further evaluation.
