1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The classic Ortolani and Barlow signs are routinely used to diagnose hip instability secondary to severe acetabular dysplasia in the newborn. However, eliciting a positive sign depends largely on the experience of the examiner and the subjective amount of manual pressure the examiner applies on the baby's hips. Furthermore, these signs do not give a clue for the selection of a maturation or immobilization device after reduction of an unstable hip: below-knee hip spica, above-knee hip spica or a Pavlik harness. The aim of this study is to describe a clinical sign that could be useful in detecting hip instability of the newborn and to decide the proper treatment in a more objective manner: knee extension provokes dislocation of the ipsilateral unstable hip.
