Exploring connections among fingerprints, lip prints, and ABO blood groups in periodontitis: A cross-sectional analysis.

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: Research into forensic genetic markers in the onset and advancement of periodontitis is an area of growing interest. This analysis aims to examine the connection between the fingerprint patterns, lip print patterns, and ABO blood group in periodontitis patients and healthy participants. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 people participated in this cross-sectional analytical study, evenly divided into two groups: Group I (healthy participants) and Group II (patients with chronic periodontitis). Each participant's lip print, fingerprint, and ABO blood type were noted. The interaction between various participant groups concerning blood groups, lip prints, and fingerprints was examined using the Chi-square test. To examine the relationship among these variables in patients with periodontitis and those who are healthy, Spearman's correlation (ρ) was employed. Results: The findings demonstrated a statistically significant increased frequency of whorl fingerprint patterns, reticulate lip print patterns, and O-positive blood types in patients with chronic periodontitis. In contrast, healthy participants showed greater rates of ulnar loops, Type I lip prints, and A-positive blood type. Conclusion: Genetically determined characteristics such as fingerprint patterns, lip print patterns, and ABO blood groups can be utilized to evaluate the risk of periodontitis in an individual.
