SOAT1 Nonsense Variant in a Cat With Sebaceous Gland Dysplasia.
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
We investigated a random-bred cat with sebaceous gland dysplasia. The cat presented with hypotrichosis and dark crusts on the skin. Histopathologically, sebaceous glands were enlarged and had an abnormal morphology with an increased number of undifferentiated reserve cells. Whole genome sequence analysis of the affected cat and comparison to 106 genomes of genetically diverse cats revealed a private homozygous nonsense variant in the functional candidate gene SOAT1 encoding sterol O-acyltransferase 1, XM_011291017.4:c.1221G>A or XP_011289319.1:p.(Trp407*). Based on the known role of SOAT1 in sebaceous gland function, the identified variant most likely represents the cause for the phenotype. To the best of our knowledge, we report the second pathogenic SOAT1 variant in cats. These results enable diagnostic genetic testing should any new cases come under veterinary care, detection of unaffected carrier animals, and strengthen the gene-phenotype relationship between SOAT1 and sebaceous gland dysplasias.
