Enhancing postoperative recovery in total hip arthroplasty: the role of pericapsular nerve group and lateral cutaneous nerve block under spinal anaesthesia.
Trial report in International orthopaedics, 2024. 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
aim of the studyTo compare the efficacy of spinal anaesthesia alone versus spinal anesthesia augmented with ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block in improving perioperative analgesia and functional recovery in patients undergoing THA.
methodsIn a prospective, randomized clinical trial we included 66 patients scheduled for THA were divided into two groups: one receiving spinal anaesthesia alone (SA group; n = 32) and the other receiving spinal anaesthesia with regional analgesia blocks PENG + LFCN (SRAB group; n = 34). In the SRAB group, PENG followed by LFCN blocks were administered under ultrasound guidance before spinal anaesthesia.
resultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the onset of postoperative pain (p < 0.01) and the total amount of analgesics required in the first 36 postoperative hours (p < 0.01).
conclusionThe combined approach of spinal anaesthesia with PENG and LFCN blockade, enables opioid-free analgesia and may contribute to a safer and more comfortable postoperative experience for THA patients.
