1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeSinus lift operations are a tried and tested means of providing adequate implant prosthetics to patients with compromised jawbones. Knowledge of the arterial supply of the maxillary sinus region is essential for surgical treatment in this area. The aim of the present comparative study was to determine whether alveolar antral artery (AAA) canal can be diagnosed both in corresponding panoramic radiography (PR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

methodsA total of 335 patients with 635 sites and corresponding maxillary sinus in both PR and CBCT were selected and examined for AAA canal visibility.

resultsThe visibility of the AAA canal was significantly higher in CBCT than in PR. A total of 154 (46.0%) AAA canals could be identified in the maxillary sinus on the right. However, only four (1.2%) of these were also visible in PR. The detected values of the AAA canals in the maxillary sinus on the left in the PR and CBCT images were similar to those of the right. While 164 AAA canals (49%) were observed in CBCT images, only 1 (0.3%) was identifiable in PR.

conclusionsThe results show that CBCT can be recommended for visualising the AAA canal when surgically planning sinus augmentation procedures.
