Distinguishing syndromic and nonsyndromic cleft palate through analysis of protein-altering de novo variants in 818 trios.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
De novo variants (DNs) are sporadically occurring variants found in an offspring but absent in both parents. DNs most commonly arise in the germline and are not under selective pressure; therefore, they may be enriched for disease-causing alleles. In fact, DNs have been implicated in multiple rare genetic disorders. Cleft palate (CP) is a craniofacial congenital anomaly occurring in ∼1 in 1,700 live births. Genome-wide association studies have found fewer than a dozen CP-specific loci, while exome and targeted sequencing studies in family-based and case-control cohorts often lack statistical power to conclusively identify causal variants. We therefore hypothesized that CP probands would be enriched for protein-altering DNs, which may explain the relative dearth in discovery. A complicating factor in understanding CP, however, is its phenotypically heterogeneous nature. As such, we aggregated sequence data for 818 trios with CP representing a combination of subtypes and isolated and syndromic presentations. We identified global enrichment of protein-altering DNs (1.48, p = 1.28 × 10
