Comparing pericapsular nerve group block and fascia iliaca compartment block for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in hip surgeries in pediatrics: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC anesthesiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAcute postoperative pain in pediatric patients can profoundly influence emotional state, behavior, and recovery outcomes. Both the suprainguinal fascia iliaca compartment (S-FICB) and the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) blocks have been associated with effective pain relief. This investigation evaluated PENG and S-FICB blocks on analgesia quality both during and after surgeries in children experiencing hip surgeries.
methodsIn this randomized, controlled trial, 60 children (aged 1–6 years) of both sexes experiencing hip surgeries were enrolled. Subjects were randomized to undergo either a PENG block (Group P) or an S-FICB (Group F) after induction of anesthesia and before the surgical procedure began, with 0.5 mL/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine.
resultsGroup P showed significantly lower mean arterial pressure and heart rate at 30, 40, and 50 min during surgery (P < 0.05). The time to 1st rescue analgesic was significantly longer in Group P (P < 0.001), with a substantial reduction in morphine consumption over 24 h (P < 0.001). Rates of bradycardia, hypotension, and postoperative nausea and vomiting were comparable across groups. No respiratory depression or block failure occurred.
conclusionsThe PENG block was associated with differences in analgesic outcomes compared to the FICB in pediatric hip surgeries, with lower intraoperative hemodynamic measures at 30, 40, and 50 min intraoperatively, longer time to rescue analgesia, and reduced opioid requirements.
trial registrationThe trial was retrospectively registered before patient enrollment at the Pan African Clinical Trial Registry (PACTR202505776642894, Date of registration: May 21, 2025).
