Evidence of chronic sinusitis alleviation after open sinus allogeneic bone augmentation with simultaneous implant placement: A long-term retrospective observational study.
Observational study in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06773494 (Long-term Clinical and Radiographic Evidence of Alleviation of Preoperative Chronic Sinusitis After Open Sinus Allogeneic Bone Augmentation Surgery), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundSevere maxillary atrophy often complicates dental implant placement in the posterior maxilla. While sinus elevation is a well-established solution, its impact on pre-existing chronic sinusitis remains underexplored.
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of the open sinus elevation technique with simultaneous implant placement on chronic sinusitis.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort of patients who underwent the procedure. From this source population, eleven sinuses (30.6%) with radiographically and clinically confirmed pre-operative chronic sinusitis were identified as the study cohort. Assessment involved pre- and postoperative radiographic evaluation of sinus pathology and clinical evaluation using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, tabulated by an ENT specialist.
resultsPostoperative assessment revealed complete resolution of sinusitis in nine cases and partial resolution in two. Radiographically, preoperative fluid levels were eliminated or significantly reduced in all cases. Clinically, a statistically significant decrease in SNOT-22 scores was observed post-operatively (P-value = 0.003, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), with a large effect size (0.887).
conclusionThe findings suggest that open sinus elevation with simultaneous implant placement may lead to the resolution of chronic sinusitis symptoms, as evidenced by significant radiographic and clinical improvement.
