Comparison of supra-inguinal fascia iliaca versus pericapsular nerve block for ease of positioning during spinal anaesthesia: A randomised double-blinded trial.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 4 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsRegional analgesic techniques such as supra-inguinal fascia-iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block have been found to be effective in providing good pain relief in hip-fracture patients. However, comparative studies between PENG and S-FICB are lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of S-FICB and PENG block and assess their efficacy in optimal patient positioning for spinal anaesthesia.
methodsA prospective randomised double-blind study was conducted in 66 patients randomly divided to receive either S-FICB or PENG block under ultrasound guidance. Primary outcome measures were numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score at rest and on passive 15° limb lifting, 30 minutes after the block and ease of spinal positioning. The secondary outcome measures were NRS over 24 hours, amount of tramadol used (number of rescue doses), patients' satisfaction and block-related complications. The results were analysed using statistical software (MedCalc version 19.2.1). Continuous and categorical data were analysed using appropriate statistical analysis and
resultsPost-block, the NRS score decreased significantly in PENG and S-FICB groups at rest and movement (
conclusionPENG block provided better pain relief and ease of positing during SA in patients with fractured hip scheduled for hip surgery.
