Dental Implant Rehabilitation of Posterior Maxillary Edentulism via Sinus Augmentation Using the Lateral Window Technique: A Retrospective Analysis of 289 Implants Followed Up for 15 Years.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 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
The aim of this study was to analyze the marginal bone loss and survival of implants in the augmented sinus area via the lateral window approach. The effect of sinus membrane perforation as well as splinting of the upper structure was analyzed. Two hundred and eighty-nine implants were placed in the sinus areas augmented with xenografts and collagen membranes in 101 patients. Clinical and radiographic data were obtained during recall visits. The Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) and Cumulative Survival Rate (CSR) were evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 12.4 years (range: 12 to 182 months). During the follow-up period, 19 implants were lost, yielding a 92.93% survival rate. No significant models for any of the covariates were found in terms of implant survival (
