Oral Health-Related Quality of Life and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Implant Rehabilitation Using CAS Kit-Assisted Indirect Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: A Longitudinal Observational Study.
Observational study in F1000Research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Partial edentulism in the posterior maxilla is frequently complicated by alveolar bone resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, limiting implant placement and negatively affecting oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Minimally invasive sinus augmentation techniques, such as CAS KIT-assisted indirect sinus elevation, aim to reduce surgical morbidity; however, evidence regarding patient-reported outcomes and quality of life following such interventions remains limited. Objective: To evaluate oral health-related quality of life and patient-reported outcomes following implant rehabilitation using CAS KIT-assisted indirect maxillary sinus augmentation. Materials and Methods: This longitudinal observational study included 34 patients who underwent CAS KIT-assisted transcrestal sinus augmentation with implant placement in the posterior maxilla. Postoperative recovery and satisfaction were assessed using the HRQOLquestionnaire over seven postoperative days. OHRQoL was evaluated using the OHIP-14 questionnaire at baseline and one month after prosthetic rehabilitation. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: HRQOLscores showed a statistically significant improvement over the seven-day postoperative period (p < 0.001), with stabilization observed from Day 5 onward. OHIP-14 scores demonstrated a highly significant reduction from baseline to post-intervention assessment (p < 0.001), indicating marked improvement in OHRQoL across all participants. Conclusion: CAS KIT-assisted indirect sinus augmentation followed by implant rehabilitation results in rapid postoperative recovery and significant improvement in patient-reported outcomes, supporting its role as a predictable and patient-centered treatment modality for posterior maxillary rehabilitation.
