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
Objectives: This study evaluates the feasibility and clinical outcomes of treating acute or subacute odontogenic maxillary sinusitis using sinus irrigation through an extraction socket following the extraction of the causative tooth or implant. Materials and Methods: This retrospective case series included patients over 19 years old with acute or subacute odontogenic maxillary sinusitis who underwent maxillary sinus lavage through the extraction socket to resolve non-chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. Exclusion criteria were previous sinus surgery, bilateral disease, or maxillary sinus pathology unrelated to dental origin. The treatment involved extracting the causative tooth or implant, intentionally perforating the sinus through the extraction socket with a 19-gauge needle, and performing sinus irrigation with saline. Antibiotic therapy was administered based on culture and sensitivity results. Results: Seven patients were included. Following the removal of causative teeth or implants, the average number of sinus irrigation sessions via the extraction socket required to resolve symptoms was 2.7±1.3. Saline irrigation combined with appropriate antibiotic treatment led to symptom resolution. Conclusion: Treating non-chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis through sinus irrigation via the extraction site, combined with appropriate antibiotic therapy, was effective in resolving symptoms and avoiding additional surgeries.
