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
Introduction: Sinus augmentation requires careful manipulation of the Schneider membrane. Perforation of the membrane can be a challenging complication. Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the sexual dimorphism of Schneider membrane (sinus membrane) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging modality and discuss its clinical applications vis-à-vis the sinus lift procedure for dental implants and also its forensic implications. Materials and methods: One hundred CBCT scans in the maxillary first molar region of fifty men and fifty women in the age group of 25-50 years were examined at two standardized points on the floor and lateral wall of maxillary sinus, and its mean was obtained. Measurements were taken for thickness of sinus membrane at most prominent antero-posterior and mesio-distal dimensions. The mean sinus membrane thickness and correlation in age groups (25-35 and 36-50 years) of both the genders were evaluated statistically. Results: The results showed a thicker sinus membrane in women, especially in 36-50 age group than that of men. Conclusion: This study correlates the thickness of the sinus membrane with gender dimorphism and delves on its association with the risk of perforation during sinus lift procedures and also its forensic implications.
