Lateral Window Maxillary Sinus Elevation With Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Step-by-Step Surgical Technique.
Article in Cureus, 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
Maxillary sinus pneumatization following tooth loss can result in reduced vertical bone height in the posterior maxilla, limiting the available bone for dental implant placement. The lateral window sinus elevation technique allows access to the sinus cavity and elevation of the Schneiderian membrane to facilitate bone augmentation. This technical report presents a step-by-step surgical technique for lateral window maxillary sinus elevation with bone grafting, membrane placement, and simultaneous implant placement. The procedure includes surgical access through a lateral bony window, elevation of the sinus membrane, placement of particulate bone graft material within the subantral space, insertion of a dental implant achieving primary stability, coverage with a resorbable barrier membrane, and tension-free primary closure of the surgical site. This report focuses on intraoperative surgical steps, providing a structured description of the technique for clinicians performing sinus augmentation procedures in the posterior maxilla.
