Association between tranexamic acid administration and mortality based on the trauma phenotype: a retrospective analysis of a nationwide trauma registry in Japan.
Article in Critical care (London, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn trauma systems, criteria for individualised and optimised administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic, are yet to be established. This study used nationwide cohort data from Japan to evaluate the association between TXA and in-hospital mortality among all patients with blunt trauma based on clinical phenotypes (trauma phenotypes).
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted using data from the Japan Trauma Data Bank (JTDB) spanning 2019 to 2021.
resultsOf 80,463 patients with trauma registered in the JTDB, 53,703 met the inclusion criteria, and 8046 (15.0%) received TXA treatment. The patients were categorised into eight trauma phenotypes. After adjusting with inverse probability treatment weighting, in-hospital mortality of the following trauma phenotypes significantly reduced with TXA administration: trauma phenotype 1 (odds ratio [OR] 0.68 [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-0.81]), trauma phenotype 2 (OR 0.73 [0.66-0.81]), trauma phenotype 6 (OR 0.52 [0.39-0.70]), and trauma phenotype 8 (OR 0.67 [0.60-0.75]). Conversely, trauma phenotypes 3 (OR 2.62 [1.98-3.47]) and 4 (OR 1.39 [1.11-1.74]) exhibited a significant increase in in-hospital mortality.
conclusionsThis is the first study to evaluate the association between TXA administration and survival outcomes based on clinical phenotypes. We found an association between trauma phenotypes and in-hospital mortality, indicating that treatment with TXA could potentially influence this relationship. Further studies are needed to assess the usefulness of these phenotypes.
