Topographic Analysis of Maxillary Posterior Teeth and Maxillary Sinus in the Mongolian Population.

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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe relationship between the maxillary posterior teeth and the level of the maxillary sinus varies across different populations and can significantly impact the success of endodontic, prosthodontic, orthodontic, and surgical treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the alveolar bone anatomy of maxillary posterior teeth and the vertical relationship to the maxillary sinus in Mongolian adults using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was designed as a retrospective study. We selected 30 CBCT images and examined a total of 202 maxillary posterior teeth using these CBCT images. We measured the alveolar bone thickness at six different distances (L1-L6) by millimeter scale, and the vertical relationship between the maxillary sinus and the maxillary molars was classified into five categories according to Kwak's classification. Statistical analyses were done using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 27 (Released 2020; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York).
resultsThe average distances measured were 1.66±1.10 mm at L1, 2.13±1.00 mm at L2, 3.03±2.21 mm at L3, 6.04±3.50 mm at L4, 2.41±3.54 mm at L5, and 0.74±2.09 mm at L6, with statistical significance (p<0.001). According to Kwak's classification, the most commonly observed types are Type I (82.1%) at the maxillary first premolars, Type III (63.3%) at the maxillary second premolars, Type II (43.3%) at the maxillary first molars, and Type I (43.3%) at the maxillary second molars (p<0.001).
conclusionThe horizontal distances between the buccal and palatal roots to the alveolar plate were shorter in molars than in premolars due to root numbers, indicating a narrower bone structure that may limit implant stability. Additionally, the vertical distance between the root apex and the maxillary sinus was shortest in second molars, increasing the risk of sinus perforation during implant placement.
