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
The pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block is a regional anesthesia technique that targets the articular branches innervating the anterior hip capsule, offering effective analgesia with minimal motor blockade. While its utility in hip surgery is established, its solitary use in pediatric pelvic osteotomies leaves the cutaneous incision site uncovered. We report the case of a 21-month-old male with significant cardiopulmonary comorbidities undergoing a unilateral pelvic osteotomy. To minimize respiratory and hemodynamic risks associated with opioids, a multimodal, opioid-sparing analgesic strategy was implemented. This approach combined an ultrasound-guided PENG block with an ipsilateral ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block to ensure comprehensive coverage of both deep articular and superficial somatic pain. The intraoperative course was stable, and the patient demonstrated excellent postoperative analgesia with no requirement for rescue opioids. This case highlights that supplementing the PENG block with an ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric block provides a tailored, anatomical solution for pediatric pelvic osteotomy, offering a safe and effective regional anesthesia strategy for high-risk pediatric patients.
