Pericapsular Nerves Group (PENG) Block in Children under Five Years of Age for Analgesia in Surgery for Hip Dysplasia: Case Report.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionThe Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block is a novel technique that allows for analgesia of the anterior hip capsule via the articular branches of the accessory obturator nerve and femoral nerve, which have a significant role in the innervation of the hip capsule. A PENG (Pericapsular Nerves Group) blockade is effective in both adult and pediatric patients. However, no studies on patients under five are available in the literature. Herein, we describe our experience with two pediatric patients with hip dysplasia. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of the pericapsular nerves group (PENG) in preschool children undergoing hip surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included two patients, aged 4 and 2 years old, who were qualified for hip surgery. Spinal or general anesthesia with the addition of a PENG block was performed. During the procedure, the basic hemodynamic parameters were monitored. The pain was assessed using the FALCC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale) score. A dose of 15 mg/kg
resultsAfter the surgery, the patients received 15 mg/kg
conclusionsThis case series showed that the PENG block assured opioid-free pain management and provided adequate postoperative analgesia. However, we are convinced that future randomized, controlled trials are needed in this field.
