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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate, after a six-month healing period, the histological and histomorphometric results of mineralized bone allograft used in lateral sinus augmentation procedures. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one pneumatized maxillary sinuses with residual bone height ≤ 4 mm were grafted with a mixture of 1/1 cortical and cancellous mineralized bone allograft using lateral sinus floor elevation. Six months later, during implant placement, a core biopsy was retrieved for histological and histomorphometric evaluation. Results: Biopsies showed mature cancellous bone with no signs of acute or chronic inflammatory reactions. Higher magnification revealed new lamellar bone, active osteocytes and normal lamellar arrangement around Haversian canals interspersed with osteocytes in lacunae. At grafted bone periphery, a high concentration of osteoblastic/osteoclastic couple was noted, indicating active bone remodeling. Histomorphometric evaluation revealed an average vital bone content of 30.32% (25.00-44.00%), and a percentage of residual non-vital bone of 18.06% (14.05-25.00%). Conclusions: Histological and histomorphometric evaluation indicated that the mixture of 1 to 1 cortical and cancellous mineralized bone allograft promoted de-novo bone formation and can be predictably used for sinus augmentation procedures.
