The efficacy of fascia iliaca compartment block for pain control after hip fracture: A meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05505604 (Comparison of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block), which is not on this map. Cited by 25 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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

Abstract
backgroundTo assess the effect of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) on pain control and morphine consumption in patients with hip fracture.
methodsWe searched databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library) for eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published prior to September 12, 2018. We only included hip fracture patients who received FICB versus placebo for pain control. Risk ratios (RRs), standard mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined. Stata 12.0 was used for the meta-analysis.
resultsEleven trials involving 937 patients underwent hip fracture were retrieved. FICB significantly decreased the pain intensity at 1-8 h (SMD = -1.03, 95% CI [-1.48, -0.58], P = .000), 12 h (SMD = -1.06, 95% CI [-1.36, -0.75], P = .000), 24 h (SMD = -1.14, 95% CI [-1.66, -0.62], P = .000) and 48 h (SMD = -0.96, 95% CI [-1.33, -0.60], P = .000). Moreover, FICB could reduced the total morphine consumption and the occurrence of nausea (P < .05). There was no significant difference between the pain intensity at 72 h (SMD = 0.11, 95% CI [-0.12, 0.34], P = .355).
conclusionsFICB has a beneficial role in reducing pain intensity and morphine consumption after hip fracture. Moreover, FICB has morphine-sparing effects when compared with a control group. More high-quality RCTs are needed to identify the optimal technique and volume of injectate for FICB.
