Do bleaching gels supplied in attachable syringes maintain their bleaching efficacy 72 hours after mixing?
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2026. 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
objectiveEvaluate bleaching efficacy (BE), hydrogen peroxide (HP) penetration into the pulp chamber, and selected physicochemical properties (HP concentration, pH, and viscosity) of in-office bleaching agents supplied in attachable syringes from different commercial brands, assessed immediately, after mixing and after 72 h of storage. MATERIALS AND
methods150 human premolars were allocated into fifteen groups (n = 10) according to (1) the commercial brand: DSP 35%, Nano White 35%, SSWhite 35%, Total Blanc 35%, HP Blue 35%, Potenza Bianco 38%, and Opalescence 40%; and (2) storage interval: immediate use or 72 h after mixing. One group stored in artificial saliva served as the negative control (no bleaching). HP concentration at both storage intervals was determined by titration, pH using a digital pH meter, and viscosity by rheometer. BE (ΔE
resultsHP concentration and pH differed among brands and decreased after storage for most gels. All gels produced significantly greater BE than the control (p < 0.05). Storage time had minimal influence on BE. HP diffusion was material-dependent; Viscosity varied among brands, although most gels demonstrated shear-thinning behavior and storage-related changes.
conclusionGels showed material-dependent differences in properties, BE, and PH penetration, with minimal 72-hour storage effects on color. However, storage altered HP concentration, pH, and viscosity in some materials. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Evaluating gels after 72 h may supports safe reuse, maintaining efficacy while reducing material waste.
