Three-dimensional quantification of the relationship between the upper first molar and maxillary sinus.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesThe present study aims to describe the relationship between upper first molar roots and maxillary sinus, for the first time with a truly three-dimensional approach.
methodsFrom a retrospective cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) sample of the upper jaw, a total of 105 upper first molars in contact with maxillary sinus from 74 patients (male 24, female 50, mean age 42) were included in the present study. Segmentation of the upper first molar and maxillary sinus in CBCT was performed utilizing a semiautomatic livewire segmentation tool in MeVisLab v.3.1. The segmentations were analyzed in 3-matic Medical 20.0 for root volume and the contact area between upper first molar roots and maxillary sinus. Analysis of variance test was applied to detect statistically significant differences between the roots.
resultsThe palatal root had the largest contact area with maxillary sinus 27.8 ± 21.4 mm
conclusionsThis study showed that 70% of the upper first molars were in contact with the maxillary sinus. The palatal root had on average a fifth of its root surface in contact with the sinus, while for mesiobuccal this was a sixth of its root surface and distobuccal roots this was somewhat less. The true 3D relationship could help to better understand maxillary anatomy in relation to occurring pathologies and treatment planning in this area.
