Long-Term Bone Height Changes After Sinus Floor Elevation With Maxillary or Mandibular Bone Grafts: A Radiological Study.
Article in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 2025. 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
backgroundThis retrospective study aimed to assess the impact of maxillary and mandibular autogenous bone grafts on maxillary bone height in patients who underwent maxillary sinus floor elevation (MSFE).
methodsThe study involved 92 patients, divided into two groups: 37 patients receiving maxillary bone grafts for MSFE and 55 patients receiving mandibular bone grafts for MSFE. Bone height after MSFE was measured on panoramic radiographs up to 60 months postoperatively, comparing different positions and situations.
resultsIn general, both maxillary and mandibular bone grafts resulted in an increase in bone height directly after the MSFE procedure, followed by a bone height loss over time, with no significant differences between the two groups for gap and free-end positions. However, at distal to implant positions, mandibular bone grafts showed less bone loss. Despite gradual bone height loss, all implants remained covered with bone without exposure or subsequent loss, indicating a successful MSFE procedure.
conclusionThis radiologic study showed that over a long-term period there is a similar bone height pattern at dental implant sites and sites distal to implants when maxillary or mandibular bone grafts are used in MSFE.
