Femoral nerve block vs adductor canal block after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction under general anesthesia: A prospective randomized trial protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundFemoral nerve block (FNB) is considered the preferred analgesia after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), but leads to weakness in the quadriceps muscles. Adductor canal block (ACB) is a new sensory block technique that effectively relieves postoperative pain while preserving quadriceps strength. The purpose of our study was to compare the efficacy of FNB vs ACB for pain control after ACLR.
methodsThis prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled, superiority clinical trial was approved by the institutional review board in our university hospital. We enrolled 120 patients set to undergo ACLR in this randomized therapeutic trial. Sixty patients received FNB and the other 60 received ACB for postoperative pain control. All ACB and FNB were performed using ultrasound-guided single-shot procedures. The primary outcomes included maximum voluntary isovolumetric contraction and postoperative pain score. Secondary outcomes included total opioid consumption, length of hospital stay, complication, and satisfaction score.
resultsThis clinical trial might provide some insights to estimate and compare the safety and efficacy of ACB vs FNB following ACLR.
trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5569).
