Developmental Dysplasia of Hip and Post-natal Positioning: Role of Swaddling and Baby-Wearing.
Review in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionTraditional swaddling, which implies restrictive immobilisation of the infant's lower limbs with the hips in forced extension and adduction, has been shown to be a risk factor for Developmental Dysplasia of Hip (DDH).
methodsWe reviewed the literature regarding the correlation between DDH and post-natal positioning by swaddling and baby-wearing, to draw awareness of healthcare professionals towards an important risk factor for DDH that has often been overlooked.
resultsThere is overwhelming evidence in the literature
conclusionPolicy makers and governments must design educational campaigns tailored to their respective populations to increase awareness regarding the benefits of "hip-safe" techniques of infant positioning, since this simple intervention has the potential of decreasing the incidence of DDH.
