Management of odontogenic sinusitis related to dental implants and maxillary sinus grafting: a retrospective single-center study.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: The increasing use of dental implants is changing the epidemiology of Odontogenic Sinusitis (ODS). Aside from endodontic causes, we frequently encounter problems caused by implant placement and bone augmentation techniques, which present a distinct pathophysiological profile compared to classic ODS. This study analyzed the clinical features of pre-implant (Group I) and implant-related ODS (Group II) to establish surgical management strategies according to the Felisati classification. Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed 45 patients treated between December 2020 and December 2025. Patients were classified according to the Felisati classification into Group I (preimplantological treatment complications) and Group II (implantological treatment complications). We evaluated clinical variables -etiology, osteomeatal complex (OMC) obstruction, foreign body presence, and oroantral communications (OAC)-and surgical strategies adopted: Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), exclusive oral approach, or a combined simultaneous technique. Results: Implant-related cases (Group II; Conclusions: Implant-related and pre-implant ODS are distinct clinical entities often complicated by OMC obstruction and foreign body reactions. Although surgical planning requires case-by-case customization, in our experience, the combined simultaneous approach represented an effective primary strategy for complex cases, while exclusive approaches were reserved for selected patients. Complete short-term clinical and endoscopic resolution was observed in the cohort at the 3-month follow-up.
