DDH in the Walking Age: Review of Patients with Long-Term Follow-Up.
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 11 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
introductionThe best treatment option in children with late detected DDH is still a subject of much controversy and only few studies have investigated the long-term outcome of treatment in such patients. We performed a systematic review to assess long-term outcome of late detected DDH hips treated after walking age.
methodsStudies met inclusion criteria if they: (1) reported at least 30 hips treated; (2) included children aged between 9 months and 12 years; (3) treatment indication was late detected DDH after walking age; (4) presented a minimum follow-up of 10 years; (5) reported a clinical or radiological outcome. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate long-term survival according to clinical and radiological outcomes. The rate of total hip replacement (THR) was retrieved.
resultsFrom a total of 6561 articles, 13 articles with grade IV level of evidence were included in our review. A total of 988 hips in 800 patients with a mean follow-up of 27.9 years (range 10-67) were included. The mean age at surgery was 3.3 years (range, 9 months-12 years). The rate of THR increased according to the length of final follow-up. In particular, all studies reported no case of THR at 23.5 years of follow-up, a rate of 10.2% of THR between 30 and 40 years of follow-up and a rate of 35.6% of THR in patients with follow-up more than 40 years.
conclusionsIn patients with late detected DDH, most THR became necessary more than 30 years after the index procedure and their number increased further after 40 years and more of follow-up. Late detected DDH diagnosed after walking age is a life-long disease.
