Prevalence of developmental dysplasia of the hip in Al Jouf province, Saudi Arabia.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 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
backgroundHip dysplasia is a widespread and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder that affects children. Its prevalence varies across different nations.
aimTo evaluate the prevalence of developmental hip dysplasia (DDH) within the pediatric population of Al Jouf province.
methodsFrom January 2018 to December 2023, children with DDH from all cities of Al Jouf were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. The disease prevalence was calculated for the entire province as well as for individual cities within the territory.
resultsThe study included 427 patients with DDH with an overall prevalence of 0.50%, or 5.0 per 1000 live births. At the city level, Sakaka had the highest prevalence at 14.2 per 1000 Live births followed by Qurayyat at 2.2 per 1000 live births. In contrast, cities like Suwayr, Abu Ajram, and Meegowa did not show any incidence of DDH. Significant differences were observed in the sociodemographic characteristics, such as age, sex, and nationality, across the different cities (
conclusionThe prevalence of DDH in the Al Jouf province is high. The data delivers invaluable insights into the epidemiology of DDH in the Al Jouf locality. The findings highlight the need for targeted screening of DDH across the province.
