Clinical study of anterior hip ultrasound (van Douveren's method)-assisted Pavlik harness.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the use of anterior hip ultrasound (van Douveren's method)-assisted Pavlik harness in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
methodsWeekly anterior hip ultrasound scanning was performed in children with fixed Pavlik harness to detect whether hip reduction was achieved with the help of harness (the superior ramus of the pubis, the acetabulum, the femoral head, and the femoral neck being depicted in one plane indicated concentric reduction of the hip), and the stability of the reduction was checked by ultrasonography.
resultsA total of 39 child patients and 51 dysplastic hips were successfully detected by anterior ultrasound, and stable reduction was achieved in 37 hips (15 Graf type D and 22 type III) right after the help of Pavlik harness, in seven hips (6 type III and 1 type IV) two weeks after the help of Pavlik harness; the remaining seven hips (2 type III and 5 type IV) failed to reach stable reduction after two weeks.
conclusionThe anterior hip ultrasound (van Douveren's method) can be used to detect the reduction and stability of hip after Pavlik harness treatment in children with DDH. The majority of Graf type D and III hips can achieve a stable concentric reduction right after the help of Pavlik harness, while severely dislocated type IV hips have a low success rate for harness treatment, and abandonment of harness therapy should be considered in early stage.
