Outcome of infantile septic arthritis of the hip joint: A two-children medical center's experience.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
purposeSuppurative arthritis of the hip (SAH) in infants under six months of age is prone to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis in clinical practice, leading to catastrophic outcomes. Our study aimed to investigate the clinical prognosis of SAH in children under six months of age.
methodChildren with SAH who underwent surgery at our hospitals between January 2010 and December 2019 were the subject of a retrospective analysis. We utilized Forlin’s classification and Bennett’s radiological grade to assess hip joint deformations in the last follow-up.
resultsA total of 13 children with SAH under 6 months of age were included, with an average age of 1.8 months (1–4 months). 11 patients were referred to our department due to " absence of movement " and only 3 cases (23.1%) involved fever (body temperature exceeding 38 °C). Two children were sent to our hospital for treatment after being misdiagnosed as DDH in other hospitals and treated unsuccessfully for with Pavlik braces. Delayed treatment for approximately 2 weeks. The mean follow-up duration was 3.1 years. Forlin’s classification system during the final follow-up assessment. The distribution of residual deformities was as follows: 1A7 cases, 1B2 cases, 2 A 4 cases, and 2B 0 cases. 4 hips underwent subsequent reconstruction surgery.
conclusionEarly diagnosis can significantly reduce the adverse prognosis of SAH in children under 6 months of age, and hip ultrasound reports should not replace thorough physical examination. Understanding how to differentiate ultrasound images, prioritizing the integration of clinical extensive physical examination, and being aware of SAH are all required.
