The Impact of Sinus Anatomy on Early Implant Failure Following Sinus Augmentation: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in International dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between anatomical structures of the maxillary sinus and early implant failure (EIF) following sinus augmentation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective cohort study conducted at a single medical centre. Individuals who underwent maxillary sinus floor augmentation for dental implant placement via the lateral approach. Preoperative imaging was evaluated for anatomical variables, including the presence of septa, alveolar antral artery, Schneiderian membrane thickness, maxillary sinus lateral wall thickness, residual alveolar bone height, and maxillary sinus shape. Univariate and multivariable analyses assessed the associations between anatomical factors and EIF. A P value <.05 was considered significant.
resultsA total of 159 maxillary sinus floor augmentations in 143 individuals were included. The increased presence of bony septa and thicker lateral walls were significantly associated with lower odds of EIF. Smokers had significantly higher chances of EIF.
conclusionsAnatomical features of the maxillary sinus, specifically the increased prevalence of bony septa and thicker lateral walls, are significantly associated with lower EIF rates following maxillary sinus augmentation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive preoperative radiographic assessment beyond the traditional focus on residual alveolar bone height to enhance the predictability and success of maxillary sinus augmentation procedures.
