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

aimsThe aim of this study was to assess screening costs in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), to provide any clarity on the cost-effectiveness of various hip screening programmes internationally.

methodsA PROSPERO-registered systematic review was performed by examining cost analysis studies of various DDH screening programmes, including those based around clinical examination, selective ultrasound and universal ultrasound. Costs were analysed using narrative synthesis.

resultsThere were 14 studies included in this review. Two studies found that clinical hip screening is advantageous over no screening at all, both in terms of overall cost and favourable outcomes. When considering selective ultrasound imaging

conclusionThere is a dearth of information on DDH screening costs, with significant heterogeneity amongst the existing literature. Future research should include the cost analysis of long-term complications of DDH, including the social and psychological impact of early onset arthritis, as well as gender specific ultrasound screening programmes.
