Universal in-house neonatal hips ultrasonography screening in the United Arab Emirates.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo investigate if the incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) differs considering the geographical origin, clinical picture, or presence of risk factors in homogenous cohort of neonates born in Mediclinic Al Jowhara hospital, Al Ain, United Arab of Emirates (UAE).
methodsUniversal ultrasonography hips screening of the neonates in the maternity ward of Mediclinic Al Jowhara hospital, Al Ain, UAE, was carried out using the Graf method. The average age of the neonates was 3 days. Two groups were formed for comparison: I) the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) group (n=169, 47.7%), and II) the non-GCC group (n=185, 52.3%).
resultsThe incidence of DDH was 1.7%. It was higher among neonates from the GCC region (2.9%) and significantly higher among girls from this region (6.3%). The incidence of immature hips (type IIa) was 9% and was similar regardless of origin or gender.
conclusionNeonates from the GCC region, girls in particular, have a higher incidence of DDH. These results highlight the emergency to establish a national ultrasonography DDH screening program.
