Minimum effective volume of ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Supra inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is increasingly used in elderly patients with hip fractures. However, the minimum effective volume of local anesthetics required for ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal FICB has not been determined. With ethical committee approval and written informed consent from patients, we studied 21 consecutive patients of ASA physical status I-III undergoing surgery for hip fracture who met the inclusion criteria. Blocks were performed before going to the operation room. We determined the injection volumes of 0.25% ropivacaine for consecutive patients from the preceding patient's outcome. The initial volume was 30 ml. The testing interval was set at 10 ml, and the lowest volume was 5 ml. An effective block was defined as loss of sensation of pinprick in the territory of the femoral nerve and lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh 30 min after the injection. The aim of this study was to determine the 50% effective volume (EV
