Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block for Pediatric Hip Surgery: A Report of Three Cases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Pain control for pediatric patients undergoing hip surgery can be challenging. These patients are often medically and/or surgically complex and may have numerous comorbidities. Using a multimodal strategy to ensure adequate analgesia for these patients should include regional techniques when possible. However, historical techniques for regional analgesia may be contraindicated in medically complex children, provide inadequate coverage of the region, or cause undesired weakness. Pericapsular nerve group block is a relatively novel technique, better described in the adult literature, which targets the specific sensory nerves innervating the anterior capsule of the hip. It can be combined with the lateral femoral cutaneous block for cutaneous analgesia of the hip region. In this case report, we demonstrate the feasibility of this combined technique in three pediatric patients who underwent hip surgery.
