Effects of Different Concentrations of Ropivacaine Lumbar Plexus-Sciatic Nerve Block on Recovery from Anesthesia, Postoperative Pain and Cognitive Function in Elderly Patients with Femoral Neck Fracture.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
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
Objective: To investigate the effects of lumbar plexus-sciatic nerve block with different concentrations of ropivacaine on recovery from anesthesia, postoperative pain, and cognitive function in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. Method: A total of 110 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures who were treated in our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects. According to the concentration of ropivacaine, they were divided into low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups (concentrations of ropivacaine were 0.15%, 0.25%, and 0.40%, respectively), with 36, 37, and 37 cases, respectively. Extubation time, anesthesia recovery time, and hospitalization time were recorded. Cognitive symptoms were assessed by the spatial cognitive ability, working memory ability, simple computing ability, and picture recognition ability test. The pain degree of patients was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). The occurrence of adverse reactions in patients was recorded. Result: There was no significant difference in extubation time, anesthesia recovery time, and hospitalization time among the three groups ( Conclusion: The middle concentration of ropivacaine has good analgesic and nerve block effects and has less influence on cognitive function and less adverse reactions in elderly patients.
