1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This report presents a fully digital workflow for maxillary full-arch rehabilitation that integrates trans-sinus implant placement into a stackable guided surgery system. The technique incorporates a digitally planned antrostomy guide to enable controlled lateral sinus access. Methods: A sequential stackable guide protocol was developed, including key, base, drive, and prosthetic templates, together with a custom antrostomy guide. The system was designed to translate the virtual plan into precise implant positioning and reproducible lateral window preparation for trans-sinus implant placement. Results: The digital workflow enabled accurate localization of the sinus window and guided insertion of a tilted trans-sinus implant along the planned trajectory. The combined guide system provided controlled sinus access and stable implant placement suitable for immediate loading. Conclusion: Integrating a digitally planned antrostomy guide within a stackable surgical system enhances precision in full-arch rehabilitations requiring trans-sinus implants. This digital technique expands the applicability of guided surgery to challenging posterior maxillary scenarios.
