The median effective concentration of ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided anterior iliopsoas muscle space block in the elderly undergoing hip surgery: a dose-finding study.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: In order to improve perioperative pain and reduce the adverse outcome of severe pain in elderly hip fractures, anterior iliopsoas muscle space block (AIMSB) can be used clinically to reduce pain. The aim of the study is to investigate the 50% effective concentration (EC Methods: A total of 27 patients were enrolled with aged ≥65 years, American society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification II-III and undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). We measured the EC Results: A total of 12 patients (48%) had a successful block. All patients with a successful block had a postoperative visual analog scale score of <4 in the 12 h. The estimated EC Conclusion: The EC
