Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Iliohypogastric and Ilioinguinal Nerve Block for Anesthesia in Pediatric Inguinal Surgery.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2025. 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
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve block for anesthesia in pediatric inguinal surgery. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 100 pediatric patients undergoing unilateral inguinal region surgeries at Chongqing Medical University Children's Hospital from July to December 2019. The participants were stratified into two groups: Groin group and Navel-iliac group, each consisting of 50 patients. Key parameters including hemodynamics, respiratory dynamics, blood oxygen saturation, surgical and anesthesia-specific metrics, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative pain management, and parental satisfaction were subjected to meticulous statistical scrutiny. Results: Significantly divergent outcomes were observed between the Groin and Navel-iliac groups at T2 and T3. The Groin cohort displayed markedly lower heart rates, respiratory rates, mean arterial pressures, blood pressures, and blood oxygen saturation levels in comparison to the Navel-iliac group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the Groin group exhibited shorter awakening times and reduced post-anesthesia care unit stays (P<0.05), along with decreased usage of sufentanil and propofol (P<0.05). Noteworthy reductions in the occurrences of intraoperative movement, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and postoperative agitation were noted in the Groin group (P<0.05). The FLACC pain scores upon awakening and at the 2-hour postoperative mark were also notably lower in the Groin group (P<0.05). Parental satisfaction within the Groin group was notably higher at 98.00% (49/50) compared to the Navel-iliac group's 80.00% (40/50) (χ2=8.274, P<0.05). All children involved in the study and their legal guardians signed written informed consent after fully understanding the study. Conclusion: The modified ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve block is more effective than the traditional ultrasound-guided method for anesthesia in pediatric inguinal surgery. The Groin group method provides a safe and effective anesthesia, particularly for children with a low body mass index (BMI<13.9).
