One-Year Color Stability of a Reduced 37.5% Hydrogen Peroxide In-Office Bleaching Protocol: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

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
objectiveThis randomized clinical trial evaluated the one-year color stability and patient satisfaction regarding dental esthetic improvement after 37.5% hydrogen peroxide (37.5HP) in-office bleaching with a reduced application protocol. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty participants with a shade mean C2 or darker were randomly allocated into two treatment groups (n = 20): two (37.5HP2) or three (37.5HP3) 8-min applications per clinical session. Three bleaching sessions were performed at one-week intervals. Tooth color was measured using a spectrophotometer at baseline, 1 week (1 W), 6 months (6 M), and 1 year (1 Y) post-bleaching. Esthetic self-perception was assessed using a 6-point visual analogue scale. Statistical analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Student's t-test, Tukey, Mann-Whitney, and Friedman tests (p < 0.05).
resultsNo significant differences were observed between 37.5HP2 and 37.5HP3 for Δ
conclusionsTwo and three 37.5% HP applications provided similar bleaching stability after one year. Patients remained highly satisfied with their smile, regardless of the number of gel applications. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Clinicians may consider using a neutral 37.5% HP in-office bleaching gel with two 8-min applications per session, as it provides the same one-year bleaching longevity as the manufacturer's recommended protocol of three applications.
