Perforation of the Schneiderian membrane during sinus floor elevation: a risk factor for long-term success of dental implants?
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeIn cases of highly atrophic alveolar ridges, augmentation procedures became a frequent procedure to gain optimal conditions for dental implants. Especially in the maxilla sinus floor elevation procedures represent the gold standard pre-prosthetic and mainly successful procedure. The perforation of the Schneiderian is one of the most common complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the intraoperative perforation of the Schneiderian membrane has an impact on long-term implant success.
methodsThirty-four patients from a former study collective of the years 2005 and 2006 with a total of 41 perforations were invited for a follow-up examination to determine the long-term success rates after sinus floor elevation and subsequent implantation.
resultsTwenty-one patients with 25 perforations were subsequently re-evaluated. One implant was lost due to a of periimplant infection after 232 days, resulting in an implant survival rate of 98% within a mean follow-up period of 8.9 years (± 1.5 years).
conclusionRegarding the long-term success, there was no increased risk for implant failure or other persisting complications, e.g., sinusitis, after intraoperative perforation during sinus floor elevation in this study.
