Ultrasound-Guided Genicular Nerve Block: Novel Clinical Role for Postoperative Knee Replacement Surgery Pain Management.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 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
purpose of reviewImportant aspects of knee replacement surgery to consider are regional anesthesia techniques and postoperative analgesia and ambulation. RECENT
findingsTo maximize targeted pain relief for knee replacement surgery while minimizing postoperative opioid consumption, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia nerve blocks have been utilized over the past decade. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated efficacy with minimal risks. The genicular nerve block has emerged recently as a technique with significant benefits useful in providing effective regional anesthesia during knee surgery. This narrative review explores the anatomy involved in knee surgery, anesthesia, clinical considerations, and potential benefits using an ultrasound guided genicular nerve block. At present, there is need for large sample size studies after ultrasound guided genicular nerve block for knee replacement surgery, evaluation of long-term outcomes with specific focus on functional recovery, rehabilitation participation, and patient centered outcomes.
