Dermatoglyphics: A Forensic Tool to Predict Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Gender Identification among Kuwaiti Population: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. 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: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with increasing global prevalence and genetic influence, may be predicted using dermatoglyphics, a reliable forensic tool. This study evaluated dermatoglyphic patterns to identify type 2 diabetes in the Kuwaiti population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study with 100 participants (50 diabetics, 50 controls) analysed fingerprint patterns (loops, whorls, arches). Results: 500 fingerprints were examined (250 diabetic, 250 control). Among diabetics, there were 21 males (42%) and 29 females (58%), while the control group included 20 males (40%) and 30 females (60%). The diabetic group showed a predominant loop pattern (48%), whereas the control group commonly exhibited the whorl pattern. Diabetic males mostly showed loops, and non-diabetic males showed whorls. Diabetic females had predominantly whorl patterns, while non-diabetic females showed loops. Conclusion: Loop patterns were more frequent in diabetics, while the whorls were common in non-diabetics, indicating predictive potential for type 2 diabetes.
