Sex-Related Differences in Hip Kinematics During General Movements in Early Infancy: A Biomechanical Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The General Movements Assessment provides early insight into motor development's range of motion; however, its relationship with joint kinematics, such as hip abduction range of motion, remains underexplored. This study analyzed hip abduction kinematics during General Movements, evaluating potential sex differences and variations in movement patterns (Fidgety vs. Writhing), and aimed to provide quantitative data that complement qualitative pediatric assessments. This cross-sectional observational study analyzed video recordings of spontaneous motor activity in 32 infants under three months of corrected age. Hip abduction range of motion was extracted using biomechanical analysis during General Movements. Interrater reliability was evaluated using Fleiss's Kappa. Correlations were assessed using Pearson's test, and a two-way ANOVA examined the effects of sex and the type of movements on range of motion. Interrater reliability for movement classification was excellent (Kappa = 0.909,
