Routine screening for developmental dysplasia of the hip by chiropractors: a case report of late diagnosis in an infant.
Article in The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundDevelopmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a common musculoskeletal condition of infancy, but diagnosis can be delayed. In parts of Australia, after the four-month routine assessment, there is a 16-week interval before the next well-child assessment. This may result in a delay in diagnosing late developing DDH. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report describes the diagnosis and management of an 18-week old infant with late-onset DDH who was successfully managed with simultaneous Pavlik harnessing with Denis Browne Bar. SUMMARY: This case underscores the importance of routine ongoing hip joint screening, inter-professional collaboration of all health care practitioners, and the importance of appropriate training of all practitioners seeing infants, to reduce instances of undetected DDH, reduce medical burden, and prevent otherwise unnecessary surgical intervention.
