1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dental caries and gingivitis are highly prevalent worldwide, with limited evidence on the role of ABO blood groups in influencing susceptibility among Indians. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 600 adults, with blood groups determined serologically; caries assessed using the DMFT index and gingivitis using the Gingival Index. Blood group O showed the highest mean DMFT (4.82 ± 2.15) and gingivitis prevalence (82.6%), with significant differences across groups (p<0.01). Logistic regression identified group O as an independent predictor for high caries (OR=2.15) and gingivitis (OR=1.94). Blood group O may represent a non-modifiable risk factor for poor oral health, highlighting the need for targeted preventive strategies.
