Role of Tranexamic Acid in Palliative Control of Bleeding in End-Stage Head and Neck Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
Tumor-related bleeding is a common manifestation of end-stage head and neck cancer, and it can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life. Tranexamic acid is an anti-fibrinolytic agent that has been shown to effectively control bleeding and reduce the need for transfusions in various hemorrhagic conditions. Here, we present the case of a patient with end-stage head and neck cancer experiencing recurrent episodes of bleeding, who was able to successfully achieve hemostasis after being treated with tranexamic acid. This case report highlights the role of tranexamic acid as a palliation agent that can help control the unpleasant bleeding symptoms of end-stage head and neck cancer and provide a better quality of life for patients.
