Relationship between bone quality and shrinkage in maxillary sinus augmentation using synthetic alloplast versus xenograft.
Article in Journal of periodontal & implant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis clinical study evaluated differences in bone quality within the maxillary sinus when either alloplast or xenograft material was applied.
methodsTwenty participants requiring lateral sinus approach augmentation for delayed implant placement were divided into 2 groups. The first group received a silica-calcium phosphate composite (SCPC) alloplast, while the second received a bovine bone xenograft (Bio-Oss). Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure changes in bone height and area immediately after surgery and 5 months after augmentation. Picrosirius red staining of bone biopsies, obtained during implant placement, was analyzed under polarized microscopy. A MATLAB algorithm was used for analysis following image acquisition.
resultsCBCT measurements revealed a statistically significant reduction in linear bone height among xenograft recipients (
conclusionsThe increased formation and maturation of new bone appear responsible for the preservation of bone height in alloplast group recipients.
