1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 study aims to investigate the potential complication of implant displacement into the maxillary sinus, exploring its etiology and various management strategies, while proposing a systematic approach for clinicians to effectively address this evolving complication. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective multi-center cohort study evaluated patients with dental implant migration into the maxillary sinus treated between 2010 and 2023 at two Israeli medical centers. Data included demographics, symptoms, clinical findings, and treatment modalities.

results32 patients (mean age: 62.3 years) were analyzed, with a notable incidence of sinusitis and oroantral fistulas. 91% required surgical intervention, predominantly Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (63%). The majority of displacements occurred during the implantation process, often correlating with clinical symptoms.

conclusionAs shown in our study, displacement of implants into maxillary sinus, often leads to sinusitis and oroantral fistula. A proposed treatment algorithm emphasizes surgical intervention, particularly Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, based on symptoms and clinical signs.
