Effects of liposomal bupivacaine versus ropivacaine for fascia iliaca compartment block on postoperative pain and delirium in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo compare the effects of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) with liposomal bupivacaine versus ropivacaine on postoperative pain and delirium in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
methodsEighty-six elderly patients who underwent THA were retrospectively enrolled. They were divided into a liposomal bupivacaine group (LB group, n=43) and a ropivacaine group (R group, n=43) based on the medication administered. Perioperative hemodynamic parameters, inflammatory markers, postoperative pain intensity, incidence of delirium, analgesic use, postoperative recovery outcomes, and complication rates were compared between the groups.
resultsThe LB group had significantly lower Numerical Rating Scale scores than the R group both at rest and on movement at 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively (P<0.05). The LB group had significantly lower inflammatory marker levels than the R group at 24 and 48 hours postoperatively. The LB group had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) than the R group (4.65% vs. 18.60%, P<0.05). The LB group had fewer patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) attempts, longer time to first PCIA, and lower sufentanil consumption postoperatively (P<0.05). The LB group had significantly shorter time to first ambulation and length of hospital stay compared with the LB group (P<0.05).
conclusionFICB with liposomal bupivacaine may be associated with prolonged analgesia, a lower incidence of POD, faster recovery, and fewer complications in elderly patients undergoing THA.
