1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To explore the effect of intravenous tranexamic acid on postoperative drainage and elbow joint function after traumatic elbow stiffness release. Methods: The clinical data of 44 patients with elbow joint stiffness who were treated with release surgery between March 2022 and December 2023 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 20 patients were given intravenous infusion of 100 mL (1 g/100 mL, once a day) of tranexamic acid solution for 3 consecutive days after surgery (group A), and 24 patients were not treated with tranexamic acid after surgery (group B). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as gender, age, side, body mass index, initial injury, and preoperative hemoglobin, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, and Mayo elbow function score (MEPS), elbow flexion and extension activity between the two groups ( Results: Both groups of patients successfully completed the operation, and there was no significant difference in operation time ( Conclusion: Intravenous tranexamic acid for 3 consecutive days after release of traumatic elbow stiffness can significantly reduce postoperative drainage volume, shorten drainage tube indwelling time and hospital stay, and relieve early postoperative pain, but it has no effect on the risk of thrombotic and embolic events and postoperative elbow function.
