Association of the Disheveled 2 (DVL2) Gene c.2044delC Variant with Increased Risk of Canine Cleft Palate.
Article in Animal genetics, 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
Canine congenital cleft palate is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies in dogs, characterized by a failure of the palatal shelves to fuse properly during fetal development, leading to abnormal communication between the oral and nasopharyngeal cavities. Patients with cleft palate can experience significant challenges including feeding difficulties, aspiration pneumonia, and respiratory distress, all of which can profoundly impact quality of life and, in severe cases, survival. The clinical management of cleft palate in dogs involves a combination of medical and surgical interventions. The aim of this study was to identify common genomic variants associated with cleft palate. A GWAS with 266 cases ascertained from a general population of more than 1 million dogs attending primary care veterinary clinics in the United States was used to identify an association in the region of the disheveled 2 (DVL2) gene variant c.2044delC, previously linked to Robinow-like syndrome and the screw tail phenotype in Bulldogs and related breeds. The association was confirmed through genotyping of the DVL2 variant. In summary, this study identifies the DVL2 variant that is fixed and breed defining in several breeds as a risk factor for cleft palate in dogs.
