Do periapical and periodontal pathologies affect Schneiderian membrane appearance? Systematic review of studies using cone-beam computed tomography.
Synthesis in Clinical oral investigations, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis systematic review analyzed the relationship between periapical and periodontal pathologies in the posterior maxilla and the appearance of the Schneiderian membrane in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared with sound dentitions.
methodsFive electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Embase, OpenGrey, PubMed, Web of Science), complemented by hand searching, were screened up to May 9, 2016. Human clinical studies that used CBCT and contained information on the periapical/periodontal status in the posterior maxilla and Schneiderian membrane appearance were included. A weighted vote counting (WVC) method was applied to summarize results across studies.
resultsOut of 413 records, 20 studies were included. In the WVC, the studies that observed a positive association between periapical lesions and the appearance of the Schneiderian membrane outweighed those that found no such association (WVC 51 % and WVC 33 %, respectively), with some studies yielding indeterminate results (WVC 16 %). Regarding the relation between periodontal pathologies and the appearance of the Schneiderian membrane, WVC produced a tie between studies demonstrating a positive association (WVC 46 %) and those showing no association (WVC 44 %); one study (WVC 10 %) reported indeterminate results.
conclusionsOn CBCT scans, periapical lesions in the posterior maxilla are likely to be associated with Schneiderian membrane thickening. In contrast, current evidence regarding the relation between periodontal diseases and the appearance of the Schneiderian membrane in CBCT is inconclusive. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Incidental maxillary sinus findings on CBCT scans warrant thorough differential diagnosis. Frequently, they may be related to dental pathologies.
