Tranexamic Acid Use Intra-Operatively Decreases the Need for Blood Transfusions and Post-Operative Edema in Temporomandibular Joint Surgeries.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgeries cover a vast assortment of surgical procedures such as tooth extractions, tissue biopsies, and extensive maxillofacial surgeries. Major complications that occur during and after TMJ surgeries include uncontrolled bleeding, considerable blood loss, serious infections, and edema. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent that reduces blood loss by inhibiting the enzymatic breakdown of fibrin. Currently, TXA is widely used in various orthopedic surgeries to reduce bleeding and decrease the need for blood transfusions. In this study, we observed five patients undergoing major TMJ replacement surgeries and administered TXA during the procedure. The principal aim of this study was to examine the association between TXA administration during TMJ replacement surgery and blood loss and tissue edema.
