Breed-Specific Dental Variations in Dogs Assessing Malocclusions Using Computed Tomography (CT).
Article in Veterinary sciences, 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
Dental malocclusions are common and often underdiagnosed situations in dogs, which might result in oral trauma, impaired mastication, and periodontal disease. Nevertheless, scientific investigations into breed-specific variations in dentition remain scarce. To evaluate breed-specific dental variations in dogs, a retrospective cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 92 clinical canine head computed tomography (CT) scans obtained in Chengdu, China, representing a range of breeds and skull morphologies. Dental alignment and occlusal relationships were calculated using standardized malocclusion classification criteria. As a result, malocclusions were found and identified in 46.7% of dogs. Among them, brachycephalic breeds indicated a high prevalence of malocclusion, with Shiba Inu dogs demonstrating the highest malocclusion rate (66.7%), whereas Golden Retrievers and Akitas showed the lowest prevalence (16.7%). Class I malocclusions characterized by dental crowding were most common (44.19%), followed by Class II malocclusions (overbite) (30.23%), and Class III malocclusions (underbite) (20.93%). Our findings demonstrated a strong association between skull morphology and dental alignment abnormalities.
