Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Clinician-Reported Outcomes (ClinROs) in Sinus Floor Elevation for Implant Rehab in the Edentulous Maxilla: A Systematic Review and COSMIN Analysis.

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
objectivesTo evaluate the current patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) following sinus floor elevation (SFE) for implant-based rehabilitation in the fully edentulous maxilla.
methodsA systematic search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, covering publications from 2013 to 2024. We included prospective studies assessing PROMs and ClinROs. The COSMIN checklist was used to evaluate PROMs quality.
resultsEighteen studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials, and case series. Fourteen distinct ClinROs were identified, predominantly implant survival (61.11%) and peri-implant bone-level changes (50%). Conversely, ClinROs directly associated with SFE procedures-such as maxillary sinus bone height/volume changes (27.7%) and sinus membrane perforation (10.5%)-were underreported. Prosthetic outcomes were addressed in 11.11% of studies, and PROMs in 50% of the studies. Seven different PROMs were identified, with a focus on masticatory function and overall satisfaction. COSMIN analysis revealed that OHIP-49 and the denture satisfaction questionnaire (DSQ) were the most robust PROMs, scoring "very good" across multiple domains. Patients' overall satisfaction and complaint-based PROMs lacked validation.
conclusionsCurrent reporting of ClinROs emphasizes implant-related metrics, while outcomes directly related to SFE are inconsistently reported. Validated PROMs are needed to ensure consistency and reliability in outcome assessment. OHIP-49 and DSQ demonstrated strong psychometric properties and are recommended as core PROMs. Future studies should incorporate early and long-term PROMs and adopt a standardized approach to outcome reporting.
