Use of Tranexamic Acid in SARS-COV-2: Boon or Bane?
Review in Archives of Razi Institute, 2024. 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
The devastating pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) began in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly through most parts of the world in the second half of 2020. The air droplet spread of SARS-CoV-2 is of great global health concern as it is potentially fatal. Various drugs and treatment modalities have been tried to date, but none have been found to be definitive. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is commonly used in pigmentary disorders in dermatology due to its ability to reduce melanocyte tyrosinase activity. It also possesses anti-fibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory properties, which have been observed to suppress the cytokine storm and modulate coagulopathy in patients suffering from COVID-19. TXA, when administered early, has been effective in decreasing the severity of symptoms in COVID-19 patients, but on the contrary, it has also been associated with life-threatening thrombosis when given as a single drug.
