Exploring the periodontal phenotype of Uygur adults in Xinjiang, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of thin and thick periodontal phenotypes in a sample of Uygur adults in Xinjiang, China, and their correlation with clinical parameters. A total of 50 healthy Uygur adult volunteers in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China, were recruited. Gingival thickness (GT) and labial alveolar bone thickness (BT) were measured using CBCT at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) level and at 1 mm below the alveolar crest, respectively. Additionally, the width of the keratinized gingiva (KGW) was measured using a periodontal probe. The crown width/length ratio (CW/CL), gingival papilla height (PH), and gingival curve (GC) were measured on a plaster model. Finally, correlations between parameters of the periodontal phenotype were analyzed. The mean GT of maxillary anterior teeth in the Uygur adults was 1.34 ± 0.30, with 85.3% having a thick gingival phenotype and the remaining 14.7% exhibiting a thin gingival phenotype. Additionally, the mean GT was 1.43 ± 0.21 for thick gingiva (≥ 1 mm) and 0.81 ± 0.08 for thin gingiva (< 1 mm). Significant differences in GT, BT, CW/CL, PH, and GC were noted between thin and thick gingival phenotypes (P < 0.05). Lastly, GT showed a strong positive correlation with CW/CL and GC (R > 0.8), a negative correlation with PH (R = -0.8022), and a moderate correlation with BT and KGW (0.80 > R > 0.30). In the current sample, a thicker gingival phenotype was more prevalent among Uygur adults. Additionally, gingival thickness showed a certain correlation with the assessed periodontal characteristics.
