Fingerprints and Its Correlation with Dental Caries, Molar Relation, and Cooperation of Children During Dental Treatment: A Cross-sectional Study.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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: Fingerprint analysis for personal identification is well-known, since it is specific to each person and does not change over a lifetime. These days, it is being recognized as a helpful tool in understanding the basic questions in genetics and is emerging as an independent field in dentistry, known as dermatoglyphics. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation of fingerprints with social behavior, dental caries, molar relation, and cooperation of children while receiving dental care. Materials and methods: A total of 100 children aged 5-10 years who had reported to the department. Fingerprints of all the fingers of both hands of the subjects were recorded using a digital scanner (Futronic's FS80H USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner; Hong Kong). Results: In both males and females, the maximum frequency for a fingerprint pattern was for the loop type, and the minimum was for the arch type. The predominant dermatoglyphic pattern seen in group I (DMFT = 1-2) was the arch pattern, which had 35.6%, in group II (DMFT = 3-4) was loop patterns, 37.6% and in group III (DMFT ≥5), whorl patterns 56%. In all three groups of malocclusion, i.e., class I/mesial step, II/distal step, and III, there is an increase in loop pattern and a decrease in arch pattern, which were statistically not significant ( Conclusion: Within the limitations of the current study, in a developing nation such as India, dermatoglyphics could work as a noninvasive, affordable, and efficient indicator for dental caries, malocclusion, and children's behavior in the dental environment.
