A review of evidence-based clinical practice on fascia iliaca compartment block for lower limb injury.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe main objective of this study was to resolve fascia iliaca compartment block controversies by putting the currently available evidences applied for knee, femoral shaft, and hip bone injury or related to surgery.
methodsThe databases PubMed, Cochrane Review, and Google Scholar were searched without regard to language or publication type for fascia iliaca compartment block before December 2020. After eligibility sorting and duplicate removal, a total of 26,609 articles were identified, with 21 of them being included for review. DISCUSSION: In the emergency department, fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) has now become the standard of practice. Various evidence suggested that 20-40 ml of local anesthetic was required for an effective block in adult patients.
conclusionFor the knee, femoral bone, and hip region surgery, the fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) provided better anesthesia quality, reduced systemic morphine consumption, and had fewer complications than epidural anesthesia. Anesthetists and surgical department staff should promote the FICB's benefits by emphasizing its superiority in pain management.
