A comparative study of ultrasound-guided versus landmark-based femoral with sciatic nerve blocks in lower limb surgeries.
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
Peripheral nerve blocks are widely used in lower limb surgeries to provide effective anesthesia and post-operative analgesia. Therefore, it is of interest to compare ultrasound-guided and landmark-based femoral with sciatic nerve block techniques in terms of success rate, onset time, duration of analgesia and complications. A prospective comparative study was conducted on 100 patients undergoing elective lower limb surgeries, divided equally into ultrasound-guided and landmark-based groups. Ultrasound-guided blocks demonstrated significantly faster onset, higher success rates, longer duration of analgesia and fewer complications compared to the landmark-based technique (p < 0.05). Thus, data shows that ultrasound guidance improves the safety, accuracy and overall efficacy of peripheral nerve blocks in clinical practice.
