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
backgroundThis study aimed to compare the effects of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) on perioperative pain control in patients undergoing surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
methodsPatients who underwent surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures between June 2021 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The study included patients who underwent surgery for intertrochanteric femoral fractures using a proximal femoral nail under spinal anesthesia, combined with either a PENG block or an S-FICB. The patients were divided into two groups: those who underwent a PENG block were assigned to Group I, and those who received an S-FICB were assigned to Group II. Functional assessments included perioperative numerical rating scale (NRS) scores, the timing and amount of systemic analgesics use, patient satisfaction, nausea, vomiting, and motor muscle strength.
resultsThe spinal positioning score was significantly better in Group I (p<0.01). NRS scores were significantly lower in Group I at the 6th and 12th hours during exercise (p<0.001). Patient satisfaction scores were also significantly higher in Group I (p=0.04). The time to first opioid use was earlier, and the total opioid dose was higher, in Group II (p=0.03 and p=0.04, respectively).
conclusionThe PENG block, with its more potent analgesic effect, easier positioning, lower opioid consumption, and higher patient satisfaction, emerges as a promising option for hip fracture surgery.
