Proximity of healthy posterior teeth to the maxillary sinus floor in relation to mucosal thickening: a CBCT study.
Article in Oral radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo evaluate the relationship between proximity of the root apices of healthy maxillary posterior teeth to the maxillary sinus floor (MSF) and mucosal thickening (MT) of the MSF using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
methodsEighty-four CBCT images obtained from the patients, aged between 20 and 70 years with healthy and fully dentate maxillary posterior sextants, were included. The anatomical relationship between root apices of maxillary posterior teeth and MSF, was evaluated: (Type 1: no contact, Type 2: at least one root apex in contact, Type 3: at least one root apex protruding into MSF). Besides, MT of the MSF was measured from the thickest region. The patients were categorized into two groups based on the absence (≤ 2 mm) or the presence (2 < mm) of MT. Statistical significance was accepted at p < 0.05.
resultsIntraexaminer consistency demonstrated an excellent agreement (p < 0.05). The prevalence of Type 1, 2, and 3 proximity were found as 26 (15.5%), 61 (36.3%), and 81 (48.2%); respectively. Overall, 62 (36.9%) maxillary sinuses demonstrated MT (2 < mm, mean: 8.6 ± 7.5 mm). The prevalence and mean values of MT (2 < mm) were not found to be statistically significantly different in terms of sex and proximity types (p > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis results were not found to be statistically significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionThe proximity of healthy maxillary posterior teeth to the MSF was not found to be a contributing factor for the MT of the MSF. Further studies with larger samples, taking the other factors causing MT into consideration, are needed.
