Clinical, radiographic and histomorphometry evaluation of the osteogenic potential of Schneiderian membrane after graftless maxillary sinus augmentation: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the osteogenic potential of the Schneiderian membrane following sinus floor elevation using bioabsorbable screws as space maintainers, without the use of graft material.
methodsFourteen patients with severely atrophic posterior maxilla were enrolled in the current study. All patients underwent maxillary sinus augmentation via a lateral window approach. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups. In the control group, the sinus cavity was filled with xenograft material. In the intervention group, the Schneiderian membrane was elevated and stabilized using bioabsorbable screws, with no graft material used to fill the space.
resultsCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of all patients revealed radiographic bone height improvement in both groups, with the control group showing a greater mean increase. Histomorphometric analysis revealed a tendency toward higher new bone formation in the intervention group, though the difference did not reach statistical significance.
conclusionBioabsorbable screws may serve as effective space maintainers for graftless sinus elevation, allowing for spontaneous bone regeneration beneath the Schneiderian membrane. While conventional grafting with xenograft remains predictable, the bioresorbable screws-supported graftless approach offers a promising alternative in sinus floor elevation.
