Evaluation of Digital Palmar Dermatoglyphics in Oral Submucous Fibrosis and Leukoplakia: A Prospective Comparative Clinical Study.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Aim: To analyze and compare digital dermatoglyphic patterns in patients with oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis and their role as noninvasive diagnostic tool. Materials and Methods: Two hundred patients were segregated into four groups of 50 patients each with oral leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, and patients with habits but no lesions were included. They were compared with 50 subjects without habits and without lesions. The study was undertaken to investigate the association of palmar dermatoglyphics with leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis. Palm and fingerprints were taken using digital method which were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results: The present study found increase in frequency of whorls, palmar patterns in I Conclusion: Thus, with the study of peculiar changes in digital dermatoglyphic patterns in patients with oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis, early detection and preventive measures can be instituted in normal individuals having habit history without lesions to prevent the occurrence and progression of these potentially malignant disorders.
