W-SITTING IN CHILDHOOD: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.
Review in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveDespite the lack of science-based evidence, many specialists and non-specialists consider W-sitting detrimental to children. This systematic review aims to find evidence on W-sitting.
methodsThis review was registered on PROSPERO under the number CRD42022313341. During January 2023, the term "W-sitting" and its variations were searched on the following databases: PubMed, Medline, Embase, PEDro, and Cochrane. Duplicate articles and those that addressed themes other than W-sitting were removed.
resultsThis review found 3641 articles, removed 614 duplicates, and excluded 3021 for focusing on subjects other than W-sitting. It included seven studies for analysis, one of which was a narrative review and two were methodologically inadequate cross-sectional to evaluate the causal effect in W-sitting. Another article evaluated muscular activation in adults according to sitting position. The last article found no causal relation between W-sitting and developmental dysplasia of the hip.
conclusionThis review found no scientific evidence advise against W-sitting in children and no association with hip dysplasia. Moreover, muscular activation remains the same, regardless of the position chosen for sitting.
