Analysis of bone quality formation in sinus lifts with immediate implants.
Article in BMC oral health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Sinus lift surgeries are part of the daily practice of dentists. This study evaluates the long-term structure of the bone placed in sinus lifts through the fractal dimension. We conducted a retrospective study on a sample of 35 patients with 51 sinus lifts performed using a lateral window approach and filling material placement. We radiologically analyzed the graft bone to observe its evolution up to one and a half years after the surgical procedure. The obtained results were the average area of the sinuses analyzed was 1401.96 mm2, with a mean area occupied by the filling material of 297.75 mm2. Significant differences are observed when comparing the fractal dimension values obtained on the initial day and one year after prosthesis loading. Similarly, when comparing the values of the area occupied by the biomaterial at the start day and one year after prosthesis loading, significant differences are also obtained (p-value < 0.001). In conclusion, the filling material used in the lateral window sinus lift procedure undergoes significant resorption and shows changes in the fractal dimension.
