Evolving Techniques and Trends in Maxillary Sinus Lift Procedures in Implant Dentistry: A Review of Contemporary Advances.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The most challenging aspects of planning implant rehabilitation for the posterior maxillary region are the pneumatization of the maxillary sinus and the resorption of the residual alveolar ridge. To address the first aspect, there are two primary modalities for sinus augmentation: the direct or lateral window technique and the indirect or crestal technique. Clinicians must possess comprehensive knowledge of the maxillary sinus anatomy and be able to diagnose pathognomonic abnormalities through presurgical imaging and investigations. This skill is essential for performing technique-sensitive augmentation of the maxillary sinus with or without using biomaterials such as bone grafts, membranes, and platelet concentrates. These materials help create a suitable bone bed for either simultaneous or delayed implant placement through various traditional and evolving modified sinus augmentation techniques. It is also critical to effectively elevate the Schneiderian membrane during sinus floor elevation surgery, as complications in this process can adversely affect implant survival and potentially lead to implant failure. This review explores various aspects of maxillary sinus augmentation, ranging from traditional methods to evolving contemporary techniques, and draws on existing literature to examine their advantages, limitations, indications, and contraindications.
