Comparative evaluation of spinal versus epidural anesthesia in lower limb orthopedic surgery: Hemodynamic stability and block duration.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Regional anesthesia remains essential in lower limb orthopedic surgeries for providing effective intraoperative anesthetic control and post-operative analgesia with fewer systemic side effects. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the fifty patients undergoing elective lower limb orthopedic procedures to assess spinal versus epidural anesthesia in relation to hemodynamic stability and block duration. Twenty-five patients received hyperbaric bupivacaine via spinal route and twenty-five received bupivacaine through a lumbar epidural catheter. Spinal anesthesia demonstrated faster onset and denser surgical block but was associated with higher incidence of hypotension and bradycardia. Epidural anesthesia produced slower onset yet maintained better hemodynamic stability along with prolonged post-operative analgesia. Thus, data shows the both techniques are safe and effective, with choice guided by surgical duration, patient profile and post-operative pain management requirements.
