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
Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is one of the rare complications during the implant surgery. However, it is always possible that clinicians confront with this unexpected result and patients should be informed ahead of maxillary implant surgery. For clinicians, it is important to be aware of how to deal with the complication, because the migrated implant must be removed as early as possible. There have been several classical ways to approach the maxillary sinus, such as the Caldwell-Luc procedure and endoscopic sinus surgery and these methods still have been chosen by many surgeons although quite a lot of complications exist. In this study, the author introduced a new sinus approach technique, modified endoscopic-assisted sinus surgery (MESS) as an efficient, easy and less complication-inducing sinus approach. A clinical case was described where a displaced dental implant beneath the optic nerve was successfully removed by MESS. Furthermore, essential considerations to avoid medical litigation and maintain close rapport with the patients were discussed when dealing with the case of displaced implant in the maxillary sinus.
