Local Infiltration Anesthesia in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a cost-effective solution for osteoarthritis, but it is often associated with postoperative pain that hinders early mobilization and rehabilitation. Local infiltration analgesia (LIA) has emerged as a potential strategy to reduce pain and speed recovery in THA patients. However, the efficacy of LIA in THA remains controversial, with conflicting evidence regarding its impact on pain management, length of hospital stays, and other outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of LIA in pain management after THA. Methods: A blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted in 108 patients undergoing THA at a single center. Patients were randomized to receive either LIA or non-LIA during surgery according to an accepted protocol. Surgical procedures were standardized, and outcomes including pain, blood loss, length of hospital stay, functional outcomes, and patient satisfaction were assessed. Results: No significant differences were observed between the LIA group and the control group in pain scores at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, blood loss, length of hospital stay, or functional outcomes at 3 and 6 months. Patient satisfaction was similar between groups. There were no major complications. Conclusions: The use of LIA did not improve pain management, hospital stay, blood loss, functional outcomes at 3 and 6 months postoperatively or patient satisfaction at 3 and 12 months after primary THA.
