Ultrasound Evaluation of Subsartorial Spread Following Adductor Canal Block: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Adductor canal block is a widely used regional anesthesia technique for total knee arthroplasty that helps in reducing post-surgical pain and opioid use. Anatomically, the adductor canal extends from the apex of the femoral triangle proximally to the adductor hiatus distally and is roofed by the sartorius and vasto-adductor fascia. All these serve as a potential path for the spread of the local anesthetic when it is injected inside the adductor canal during the block. Subsartorial space is of unique interest as it lies between the sartorius and vasto-adductor fascia, carrying the subsartorial plexus that can provide additional analgesia to the knee when the adductor canal block injectate spreads into it. While the spread can be variable, ultrasound can be a useful tool to evaluate this spread. This is a case series of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia and adductor canal blocks. We present the findings of ultrasound evaluation of the injectate spread following adductor canal blocks and evaluation of their analgesia effects.
