Effects of Different External Sinus Lifting Techniques on Perioperative Complications and Patient Comfort.
Trial report 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. It is linked to trial NCT06601816 (Comparison of Sinus Lifting Techniques Performed with Piezosurgery and a Surgical Guide, a Specially Designed Drill, and Conventional Drills in Terms Complications and Quality of Life), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
aimThe objective of this study is to explore how different external sinus lifting approaches affect perioperative complications and patient comfort. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study was conducted with patients who were admitted for rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla and met inclusion the criteria. Sinuses to be lifted were randomized into three groups: piezosurgery with a surgical guide, a specially designed bur for lateral sinus lift, and conventional burs. Intraoperative complications, ease of access, and operation time were recorded. Pain measured with visual analog scale (VAS) and analgesic consumption were evaluated over 1 week postoperatively. Edema was evaluated preoperatively and on the 2nd and 7th postoperative days. Patient expectations, experiences, and quality of life with the OHIP-14 questionnaire were assessed preoperatively and on the 7th postoperative day.
result30 sinus lifting procedures were conducted on 27 patients, comprising 16 men and 11 women. There were no statistically significant differences among the groups in terms of operation and osteotomy time, pain level, analgesic consumption, edema, patient experience, and quality of life (p > 0.05). However, significant differences were found regarding membrane elevation time (p < 0.05) and ease of access to the surgical site (p < 0.001) among the groups.
conclusionPiezo surgical approach assisted by a surgical guide appears advantageous in terms of operation time, surgical site accessibility, and quality of life. However, in cases where increased edema is expected, the use of specially designed burs for lateral sinus lift may be preferable.
