1st Global Consensus for Clinical Guidelines for the Rehabilitation of the Edentulous Maxilla: A Single-Round Survey on Sinus Lift and Alveolar Bone Augmentation Techniques.
Article in Clinical oral implants research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectivesThe objective of this survey study was to collect expert insights on the rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla involving adjunctive procedures such as sinus lifts and other bone augmentation techniques. This process aimed to support the development of a consensus and contribute to the formulation of clinical practice guidelines for the management of the edentulous maxilla. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn preparation for the 1st Global Consensus for Clinical Guidelines for the rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla, a structured questionnaire was developed. The survey was administered online anonymously in a single round. It consisted of multiple-choice items and 94 7-point Likert-scale statements and questions. Consensus was defined as >75% and ≤95% agreement or disagreement, and strong consensus as >95% agreement or disagreement.
resultsOf the 217 experts invited from 43 countries, 116 successfully completed the questionnaire via the survey link, resulting in a response rate of 53.5%. Among the 94 statements and questions, 44 (46.8%) reached consensus and 4 (4.3%) strong consensus. All statements that achieved strong consensus pertained to key clinician-reported outcomes considered essential for inclusion in future research. There was strong agreement on the importance of evaluating surgical, prosthetic, and biological complications, along with marginal bone loss.
conclusionThis study collected valuable expert opinions to inform a consensus development process and contribute to the formulation of clinical practice guidelines for the management of the edentulous maxilla in complex cases requiring additional augmentation procedures.
