Assess the Association Between Periodontitis and Maxillary Sinusitis: A Cross-Sectional Cone-Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background/purpose Periodontal pathologies which are considered odontogenic in origin can be a major cause of maxillary sinusitis, along with other dental and non-dental causes. The aim of this study is to define and assess the relationship between periodontitis and maxillary sinusitis. Material and methods A total of 415 CBCT datasets of periodontitis patients were cross-sectionally evaluated. Alveolar bone loss and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening were measured in coronal and sagittal sections, these two variables represent the severity of periodontitis and maxillary sinusitis, respectively. Results This study found that mucosal thickening was significantly higher in patients with increased alveolar bone loss severity (P=0.03). Mucosal thickening was significantly higher among males (83.5%) than among females (69.8%) (P=0.001). moderate or severe alveolar bone loss had a significantly higher risk of mucosal thickening with an odds ratio of 1.8 when compared to those with mild alveolar bone loss (95% CI: 1.04-3.2). Males had an increased risk of mucosal thickening compared to females with an odds ratio of 2.2 (95% C.I.: 1.4-3.6). Conclusion In conclusion, periodontal structure can affect maxillary sinus and its health. Therefore, after confirming a diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis, a detailed examination of periodontal health is needed. These results can be used to increase the awareness of dental students and practitioners in clinical and diagnostical judgement.
