Comparison of genicular nerve block with adductor canal block for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee ligament reconstruction: A randomised controlled trial.
Article in Indian journal of anaesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Genicular nerve block (GNB) is beneficial in early ambulation and faster patient discharge since it selectively blocks articular branches and is motor-sparing. This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided GNB with adductor canal block (ACB) in patients undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: This randomised, double-blind study was conducted on 38 adults undergoing arthroscopic ACLR. Patients in Group GNB ( Results: NRS scores at rest and physical activity at 24 h were similar in both the groups ( Conclusion: US-guided GNB has an analgesic efficacy similar to US-guided ACB for patients undergoing arthroscopic ACLR.
