Selective ultrasound screening is inadequate to identify patients who present with symptomatic adult acetabular dysplasia.

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
purposeOne goal of neonatal screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the prevention of late surgery. However, the majority of patients with acetabular dysplasia at skeletal maturity are not diagnosed with DDH during infancy. Selective ultrasound screening may identify patients with neonatal hip instability, but may be ineffective for the prevention of dysplasia presenting in adulthood. The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of risk factors for DDH that would have warranted selective ultrasound screening in patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia after skeletal maturity.
methodsA prospective hip specialty center registry was used to identify 68 consecutive skeletally mature patients undergoing corrective osteotomy for symptomatic acetabular dysplasia. Risk factors for DDH evaluated in all patients included sex, family history of hip osteoarthritis or DDH, breech, method of delivery, previous hip treatments, and birth order. Radiographs [lateral center edge angle (CEA), anterior CEA, Tönnis grade, and Tönnis angle] were measured preoperatively.
resultsSixty-seven females and one male were identified. No patients were previously diagnosed with DDH or received treatment for their hips. The majority of patients (85.3 %) did not meet selective ultrasound screening guidelines following a stable neonatal hip exam and, therefore, would not have been screened in a selective screening program. Of the findings outside of screening guidelines, 98.5 % were females, 52.9 % were first born, and 36.8 % had a family history of hip osteoarthritis.
conclusionsThe majority (85.3 %) of patients with symptomatic acetabular dysplasia at skeletal maturity would not have met current recommendations for selective ultrasound screening in the USA had they been born today.
