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
Introduction: and importance: Nowadays, dental implant is considered as a revolutionary method in teeth replacement. Occasionally, missing bone is seen in the area of missing teeth. Oral surgeons need to rebuild this are before implantology, which could be supported by using bone grafts. The practitioners face a problem in the maxilla because of its anatomy and the presence of maxillary sinus. In some cases, and after losing the bone, maxillary sinus needs to be lift before the implant is placed. Calcium sulphate (CS) is one of the promising methods as one of the biocompatible bone grafts. Case presentation: A 30-year-old male patient was reported to the oral and maxillofacial surgery in Faculty of Dentistry, Damascus University. The main complaint was to replace missing teeth (teeth no: 26,27). The patient had no contraindication for surgery.Clinical Findings and Investigations: intra-oral examination revealed a good oral hygiene with no other diseases either in bone or in the oral mucosa. Cone-beam computed tomography systems (CBCT) scan was done to determine the thickness of the remaining bone and the treatment plan was discussed with the patient. Interventions and outcome: the treatment plan was to do external sinus lifting for the posterior left maxilla, using calcium sulphate as a graft and placing the implants after six months. Each procedure during surgical work was documented and monitored using CBCT. The follow-up and results were made by clinical measures as well CBCT to evaluate radiological bone-gain and bone reduction (two-year follow-up). Relevance and impact: the use of calcium sulphate has tremendous benefit as biocompatible bone grafts in sinus lifting in order to gain bone before dental implantation. It may increase the bone gain which will improve the surgical site of the implant.
