Ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block versus femoral nerve block for positioning during spinal anaesthesia in proximal femur fractures: A randomised comparative study.

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
Background and Aims: Femoral nerve block is a widely used analgesia technique for positioning before spinal anaesthesia for proximal femur fracture surgeries. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a newer technique with motor-sparing characteristics. We compared the analgesic efficacy of these blocks for patient positioning for spinal anaesthesia. Methods: In this study, 60 patients were randomised to either the PENG group ( Results: The demographics were comparable in both groups. After 30 min, the median (IQR) VAS was 6 (5-7) in the PENG group and 5 (5-6) in the femoral group ( Conclusion: PENG block provides better analgesia than a femoral block before spinal anaesthesia for proximal femur fracture surgery. The postoperative duration of analgesia was also longer.
