Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block versus supra-inguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) block for functional outcome in patients undergoing hip surgeries - A randomised controlled study.
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 13 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
Background and Aims: In hip surgeries, the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca (SIFI) block are commonly employed perioperative regional analgesia techniques. This study aimed to compare functional outcomes regarding quadriceps muscle strength and weight-bearing capacity between PENG and SIFI blocks after hip surgery. Methods: In this single-centre, double-blinded, randomised trial, 60 patients undergoing hip surgeries under subarachnoid block were randomised into either Group P (PENG block) or Group S (SIFI block). Blocks were administered under ultrasound guidance with 30 mL of 0.2% ropivacaine and 4 mg dexamethasone. Functional mobility was assessed 24 and 48 h postoperatively by measuring quadriceps strength and maximum weight-bearing capacity. Analgesic efficacy was also evaluated by comparing visual analogue score (VAS) scores at 24 h, total opioid consumption over 24 h, and duration of analgesia. Statistical analysis included Student's Results: Group P demonstrated significantly higher quadriceps-muscle strength at 24 h ( Conclusion: The PENG block may be superior to the SIFI block in terms of functional outcomes with better quadriceps strength, enhanced weight-bearing, and provision of more effective postoperative analgesia in hip surgery patients.
