Dermatoglyphic patterns as predictors of dental pain perception.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. 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
Pain perception in an individual in endodontics remains a challenge and dermatoglyphics suggests reliable non-invasive markers are lacking. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the association between pain and dermatoglyphics from 200 patients within 18 to 45 years, diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis assessed using the Heft-Parker Visual Analogue Scale. The arch pattern demonstrated a significantly higher pain score (n=63) (118.84 ± 30.31) compared with whorl (n=57) (93.29 ± 33.01) and loop (n=80) (93.16 ± 32.36) (F=4.183, p=0.020). The arch pattern was associated with the highest pain, suggesting that dermatoglyphic configurations may serve as non-invasive predictors of individual pain thresholds. Thus, data shows the dermatoglyphics association with endodontic pain perception, thereby proving it to be non-invasive approach for predicting individual pain response before treatment.
