Comparative analysis of insertion torque and radiological texture analysis following sinus lift surgery between allograft and xenograft materials: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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 aimed to investigate the relationship between insertion torque during dental implant placement and radiological changes in hard tissue texture following sinus lift surgery using allograft and xenograft materials. Directional texture analysis via Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) offsets was employed to assess anisotropic bone remodeling patterns.
methodsThis randomized clinical trial included 32 adults (≥ 18 years) with ≤ 5 mm residual bone height, randomized to sinus lift with allograft or xenograft. All procedures were performed by one surgeon, with CBCT-based texture analysis (Mazda software) at 6 months and subsequent implant placement. Gray-level co-occurrence matrix parameters were calculated from standardized ROIs. Insertion torque was recorded using a manual torque meter. statistical analysis compared outcomes between groups.
resultsMean insertion torque was higher in the allograft group (45.2 ± 6.8 N·cm) than the xenograft group (32.1 ± 5.3 N·cm; P < 0.001). Allografts showed greater structural uniformity (higher Angular Second Moment and pixel correlation), while xenografts exhibited higher entropy, sum entropy, and contrast (P < 0.001). Directional GLCM offsets revealed anisotropic remodeling patterns: allografts displayed organized vertical alignment, xenografts horizontal variation and multidirectional irregularity.
conclusionAllografts provide higher insertion torque and improved initial stability by creating a dense and uniform structure, while xenografts show longer-term adaptation to the host bone due to their structural complexity. Directional differences in tissue parameters introduce anisotropy as an indicator of bone maturity, highlighting the need to personalize surgical protocols based on graft material characteristics and radiological patterns.
