The Relationship Between Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) and Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV)-A Retrospective Case Series.
Article in Journal of paediatrics and child health, 2025. 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
backgroundsThere is no consensus if a relationship exists between idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) and developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Our research aim was to provide a contemporary Australian population statistical relationship between DDH and idiopathic CTEV, compared to published data.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective data analysis of a continuous sample of infants with idiopathic CTEV, who attended a Ponseti Clinic at Sydney Children's Hospital, born between 2010 and 2019. The prevalence of DDH requiring treatment was diagnosed utilising screening ultrasonography and compared to the most valid population data from Australia. The relative risk compared to this data was also determined.
resultsThere were 250 subjects who met the inclusion criteria and had complete datasets for analysis. The prevalence of DDH in our idiopathic CTEV study population was 52.9 (95% CI 27.6-90.5) per 1000. This represents a higher prevalence rate than Western Australian and South Australian datasets, with 9.5 (95% CI 8.9-10.1) and 5.0 (95% CI 4.6-5.5) per 1000, respectively. The relative risk of DDH in our idiopathic CTEV study population was 5.59 (95% CI 3.21-9.73, p < 0.0001) and 10.50 (95% CI 6.01-18.34, p < 0.0001), compared to Western Australian and South Australian population datasets, respectively.
conclusionOur study findings support a positive correlation between idiopathic CTEV and DDH. The relative risk of DDH in the idiopathic CTEV population is 5-10 times higher than the general Australian population. When selective hip ultrasound screening is used, we believe idiopathic CTEV should be considered a risk factor for DDH.
