Phthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid (PAP) Versus Peroxides and Impact on Dental Enamel After Whitening Treatment: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2026. 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
Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP) emerges as a promising alternative non-peroxide bleaching agent to hydrogen peroxide (HP), offering similar efficacy with potentially less enamel damage. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of 37.5% HP, 35% carbamide peroxide (CP), and PAP on dental color, enamel surface microhardness, and morphological integrity. Fifty-seven extracted human maxillary incisors were randomly assigned to three groups (
