Pre-operative lumbar plexus block provides superior post-operative analgesia when compared with fascia iliaca block or general anesthesia alone in hip arthroscopy.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 objective of this study is to retrospectively examine the effects of pre-operative fascia iliaca (FI) and lumbar plexus (LPB) nerve blocks on post-operative pain and secondary post-operative variables following arthroscopic surgery of the hip. Subjects undergoing arthroscopic surgery of the hip received one of three pre-operative anesthetic techniques; general anesthesia only, general anesthesia with FI or general anesthesia with LPB. Patient reported pain scores (0-10) were recorded at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after admission to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Secondary variables examined include time spent in the PACU, morphine equivalent administered, presence of nausea, persistent numbness, parasthesia, weakness, increased narcotic usage for rebound pain, ED visits and hospital admissions. The mean pain scores over all time points were significantly lower in the LPB group (2.38) than the FI group (4.08,
