The Effectiveness and Practicality of a Novel Barrier Membrane for the Open Window in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation with a Lateral Approach, with Risk Indicators for Bone Graft Displacement and Bone Height Decrease: A Prospective Study in Humans.

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
Maxillary sinus augmentation with a lateral approach (MSA) is a well-established treatment. In this prospective study, we evaluated risk factors for postoperative bone graft displacement and reported the clinical application of long-term resorbable L-lactic acid/-caprolactone (PLA/PCL) as a barrier membrane to cover the open window in the lateral wall in MSA. Twenty-four patients underwent MSA according to the relevant criteria; CT data obtained before and 1 week (1 w) and 5-6 months (5 m) post-MSA, bone height changes, bone height reduction rates at 1 w and 5 m post-MSA, bone graft displacement measurements, and risk factors were examined. All patients showed bone height increments (
