Short-term retrospective analysis of radiographic evaluation of graft height changes after maxillary sinus floor augmentation with xenograft and simultaneous dental implant placement: a two-dimensional radiographic study.

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
backgroundProgressive sinus pneumatization, stable sinus graft height and shrinkage of the graft material after maxillary sinus augmentation represent limitations for clinical practice.
methodsSeventy-eight maxillary sinus floor augmentations and 83 dental implant positions were performed on 60 patients. The lateral window approach was used for maxillary sinus floor augmentation. A collagenated porcine bone xenograft (OsteoBiol
resultsThe mean vertical bone gain per implant following simultaneous maxillary sinus augmentation at sites with a residual bone height of less than 4 mm (11.14 ± 1.87 mm) was the highest among all groups (p < 0.001) at the time of baseline surgery. The mean vertical bone gain at the grafted sinus height was significantly lower at 4 months (13.78 ± 1.24 mm) than at baseline (14.58 ± 1.31 mm) (p < 0.001). Four months after baseline surgery, a statistically significant decrease of 5.49% in the change in graft height was associated with graft contraction (p < 0.001). When the mean graft height changes were compared according to the implant location, diameter, length, brand and sinus graft width, no statistically significant differences were observed (p > 0.05).
conclusionsWithin the limits of this retrospective study, collagenated porcine bone xenografts can be used successfully as a sinus augmentation material with simultaneous implant positioning and may contribute to improved graft shrinkage in the short term.
