Ultrasonographic predictors of residual acetabular dysplasia in high-risk infants.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) encompasses a spectrum of hip abnormalities that, if undiagnosed and untreated, can lead to long-term complications. While ultrasound is the gold standard for early diagnosis, the criteria for recommending radiographic follow-up remain unclear. This prospective cohort study investigated the predictive validity of ultrasonographic parameters at five months of age for residual acetabular dysplasia at one and two years of age in untreated high-risk infants. A total of 278 high-risk infants underwent ultrasound at the initial visit and at five months, with radiographic follow-up at one and two years. The findings indicate that femoral head coverage (FHC) < 50% at five months is significantly associated with an acetabular index (AI) ≥ 30° at one and two years, whereas Graf classification at five months did not reliably predict long-term dysplasia. These results suggest that FHC < 50% may be a more effective indicator for selecting infants who require radiographic follow-up, potentially reducing unnecessary imaging. Further studies are warranted to refine follow-up protocols and optimize DDH management strategies to balance early intervention with the risk of overtreatment.
