Effect of dexmedetomidine-assisted ultrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block on postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex)-assisted ultrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block on elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed data of 60 elderly patients treated with unilateral artificial THA from January 2021 to February 2022. Among them, 30 patients anesthetized using Dex-assisted ultrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block were regarded as the research group (RG), and 30 patients anesthetized with the use of subarachnoid block were considered as the control group (CG). Serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Elisa) in patients. Also, the heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured before, 10 min and 60 min after the anesthesia. The cognitive function was evaluated before anesthesia, as well as 2 h, 6 h and 36 h after anesthesia. The adverse reactions during hospitalization were recorded, and the incidence of adverse reactions was calculated.
resultsIL-1β and IL-6 levels in both groups after operation were higher than those before operation (P>0.05), but those in the RG were lower than those in the CG (P<0.05). The HR and MAP at 10 min after anesthesia were lower than those before anesthesia (P<0.05). After anesthesia, the HR and MAP at 60 min in the RG were higher than those at 10 min in the CG, while the two in the RG were lower than those in the CG at 60 min (P<0.05). In addition, the postoperative pain score of the RG was lower than that of the CG, while the cognitive score of the RG was higher than that of the CG (P<0.05). There was no marked difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).
conclusionDex-assisted ultrasound-guided lower extremity nerve block can effectively inhibit the postoperative inflammation, improve the cognitive function, and benefit the postoperative rehabilitation in elderly patients undergoing THA.
