ABO Blood Type Associations with Physical, Mental, and Biochemical Characteristics in a Taiwanese Population.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The ABO blood group system, characterized by specific glycosyltransferase activity, is linked to various biological and clinical traits. However, findings often lack consistency due to small sample size and ethnic variability. This research explores potential associations between ABO blood types and physical, mental, and physiological traits in a substantial Taiwanese population. We utilized data from 146,374 individuals in the Taiwan Biobank. Compared to people with blood type O, those with blood types A and B exhibited a reduced risk of peptic ulcers (11% and 8%, respectively). Blood type A was associated with a 16% increased risk of hyperlipidemia and an 18% increased risk of asthma. It also had 2.3% higher total cholesterol and 3.3% higher LDL-C than type O. Blood type B showed 1.6% higher triglyceride levels. This study observes possible associations between ABO blood types and physical diseases, including gastric ulcers and asthma, as well as unique biochemical profiles. The results suggest that ABO blood typing may offer supplementary value in population-level risk assessment. Future research should elucidate underlying mechanisms and validate findings across populations.
