Association between odontogenic conditions and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening: a retrospective CBCT study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 53 papers.
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 study aimed to assess the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening and to associate them with odontogenic conditions using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND
methodsCBCT images of 294 patients (143 female, 151 males; age range 18-78 years) with 588 maxillary sinuses were evaluated retrospectively. The anatomic relationship between maxillary sinuses and teeth was determined and classified. The presence of root canal fillings and the periapical lesions of these teeth was also recorded. Sinus mucosal thickenings were classified as grade 1 (normal) (< 2 mm), grade 2 (moderate) (2-10 mm), and grade 3 (severe) (> 10 mm). Alveolar bone loss was measured on all maxillary premolar/M teeth.
resultsMore than 2-mm mucosal thickening (grade 2 and grade 3) in either one or both maxillary sinuses was found in 172 (58.5%) of the patients. The prevalence of mucosal thickening (> 2 mm) for maxillary sinuses with and without any periapical lesions was 42.1 and 53.6%, respectively (p < 0.05). The prevalence of mucosal thickening increased in patients with periodontal alveolar bone loss (p < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between mucosal thickening with age, gender and missing teeth (p < 0.05).
conclusionsMultiple conditions, including periapical infection, root canal treatment, and close relationship maxillary teeth and sinus, may have a precursor effect on the occurrence of mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinus. Periodontal status and its role as a risk factor in triggering maxillary sinus infections should be also considered by not only dental professionals but also the medical professionals to plan for the treatment of maxillary sinus lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Maxillary sinuses are significantly influenced by various odontogenic conditions, including periodontal bone loss, periapical lesions, and missing teeth, which may result in thickening of the maxillary sinus mucosa.
