Alveolar and maxillary sinus volumetric quantification after sinus lift, bone graft, and implant placement using cone-beam computed tomography: A retrospective study.

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: Tooth loss in the posterior maxilla frequently leads to alveolar ridge resorption and maxillary sinus pneumatization, compromising implant placement and often requiring sinus lift (SL) procedures. This study evaluated volumetric changes in the alveolar ridge and maxillary sinus using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) after SL, inorganic bovine bone grafting, and implant placement. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 16 maxillary sinuses from 12 patients (6 female and 6 male; mean age: 55.8 years). CBCT scans were obtained at baseline (T0), postgraft evaluation before implant planning (T1), and postimplant healing (T2; mean follow-up 29 months). Alveolar ridge and sinus volumes were measured using ITK-SNAP software. The outcomes evaluated were alveolar ridge volume (mm Results: A significant increase in alveolar ridge volume was observed at T1, followed by 11% resorption at T2 over 4 years, primarily in the cervical implant region. Maxillary sinus volume significantly decreased at T1 without subsequent re-pneumatization at T2. Sites with a volumetric gain exceeding 200% at T1 exhibited lower resorption rates at T2 ( Conclusion: Bone gain and graft volume maintenance were primarily influenced by the extent of grafting, while patient-related variables showed no significant association.
