1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Ultrasound-guided nerve block can be used for perioperative analgesia and can potentially improve the course of recovery. Although iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal nerve block has been successfully used for inguinal hernia surgery, the poor blocking effect of intraoperative traction reflex remains a major drawback of this technique. The main objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of single-point ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal-genitofemoral nerve (GFN) blockage for open anterior inguinal hernia repair in older adults. Methods: A total of 40 older adult patients [categorized as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III, body mass index (BMI) ≤28 kg/m Results: Patients in Group B had lower NRS scores in the PACU (0.9±0.7 Conclusions: Performing an ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric-ilioinguinal-GFN block through a single puncture point is a feasible clinical approach. This strategy provides appropriate intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in older adult patients undergoing open anterior inguinal hernia repair and significantly reduces postoperative complications and thus has the potential to emerge as a novel analgesic option for inguinal hernia surgery. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR2200066573.
