Autonomous dental implant robotics for transcrestal maxillary sinus floor elevation: workflow development and clinical trueness evaluation.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the trueness and safety of an autonomous dental implant robotic system (ADIRS) for transcrestal maxillary sinus floor elevation (TSFE), to compare outcomes between flat and sloped sinus floor morphologies, and to summarize a morphology-specific operative workflow.
methodsThis single-center retrospective cohort included 11 patients (12 implants) who underwent ADIRS-assisted TSFE between June 2024 and June 2025. Planned and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography datasets were superimposed to quantify global deviations at the coronal (platform) and apical levels and angular deviation. Intraoperative endoscopic inspection and the Valsalva maneuver were used to detect Schneiderian membrane perforations.
resultsMean global deviations at the coronal and apical levels were 0.58 ± 0.38 mm (range 0.17-1.63) and 0.64 ± 0.35 mm (range 0.37-1.62), respectively, and the mean angular deviation was 1.19 ± 0.50° (range 0.56-2.43). No Schneiderian membrane perforations or other intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. Trueness metrics did not differ significantly between the flat (n = 7) and sloped (n = 5) groups.
conclusionADIRS-assisted TSFE achieved submillimeter positional trueness with reliable protection of the sinus membrane in posterior maxillary implant placement, supporting its use as a standardized, minimally invasive sinus augmentation protocol.
