Effect of Pericapsular Nerve Group Block with Wound Infiltration vs Modified Supra-Inguinal Fascia Iliaca Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Adult Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty - A Randomized Clinical Trial.
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 2 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
Purpose: Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and supra-inguinal fascia iliaca block (S-FICB) provides incomplete analgesia for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to anatomical limitations. This study compares two modified approaches-PENG block with wound infiltration (WI) and a modified S-FICB-to identify the optimal analgesic technique for THA. Patients and Methods: Eighty-six subjects were randomly allocated to either the PENG block + WI group or the modified S-FICB group. The primary outcome was the postoperative numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores (rest/hip adduction) at 6 hours. The secondary outcomes were pain scores at 12, 24, 48 hours postoperatively and postoperative day 5, the incidence of postoperative quadriceps motor block at 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and postoperative day 5, the mean blood pressure (MAP) at five time points, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) usage and adverse effects such as the incidence of rescue analgesia, local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), postoperative hip infection, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) within 5 days after surgery. Results: PENG + WI group had lower NRS at rest (6h) (95% CI 0.51-1.64, p<0.001). Compared with the PENG block + WI, the modified S-FICB resulted in a higher incidence of quadriceps motor block at 6 hours (82.1% vs 25.6%; OR=13.257, 95% CI 4.46-39.38; p<0.001) and 12 hours (71.8% vs 41%; OR=3.659, 95% CI 1.42-9.42; p=0.001). Conclusion: PENG block + WI provides sufficient postoperative analgesia with no quadriceps motor block compared to modified S-FICB, supporting early ambulation and in line with the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols.
