Evaluation of accuracy and membrane perforation in robotic-assisted implant surgery for transalveolar sinus floor elevation: a retrospective case series.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe potential of the robotic system for transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) with simultaneous implant placement has not been verified. This study aimed to assess implant placement accuracy and membrane perforation in robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS) for TSFE.
methodsPatients who underwent r-CAIS for TSFE were enrolled in this study. Positioning markers were placed in the patient's oral cavity, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed. Subsequently, the surgical plan was generated using robotic software. After the markers were registered with the robotic arm, TSFE and implant placement were performed using the robotic arm and crestal approach sinus (CAS) kit drills under the control of the surgeons. Deviations between the planned and placed implants were assessed using preoperative and postoperative CBCT data. In addition, perforation of the Schneiderian membrane was evaluated intraoperatively using the Valsalva maneuver and postoperatively using CBCT images.
resultsTen patients were enrolled, and no adverse events occurred during the surgery. The mean global coronal, global apical, and angular deviations were 0.55 ± 0.20 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41 to 0.69 mm), 0.56 ± 0.23 mm ( 95%CI:0.40 to 0.73 mm), and 1.38 ± 0.83° ( 95%CI: 0.78 to 1.97°), respectively. No membrane perforation was observed during or after the surgery.
conclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, r-CAIS for TSFE showed high accuracy and a low membrane perforation rate.
