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

objectiveThe objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid (TXA) in hepatectomy when administered as per the standardized protocol of controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP).

methodsThis study was a randomized, double-blind, controlled study. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the TXA group (group T) or the placebo group (group N). The central venous pressure (CVP) was maintained at below 5 cmH2O before complete dissection of the liver parenchyma. Patients in group T received an intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg of TXA 30 min before surgery, and it was continuously pumped intravenously at a rate of 1 mg/(kg.h) until the end of surgery. Patients in group N were infused with 1 mL/kg of normal saline 30 min before surgery, and it was continuously pumped intravenously at a rate of 0.1 mL/(kg.h) until the end of surgery. The primary outcome indicators were intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, intraperitoneal drainage at 24 h after surgery, and the occurrence of compound bleeding within 30 days.

resultsThe baseline indicators were similar (P > 0.05), and there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups, but the red blood cell transfusion rate was lower in the T group than in the N group (P < 0.05). The infusion volume, surgical field grade, and surgery duration were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05). Patients in group T had a shorter hilar occlusion time, lower D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs) on the day of surgery, and significantly less intraperitoneal drainage at 24 h after surgery (all P < 0.05). There were two cases of compound bleeding and three cases of thromboembolism among patients in group N, but there were no such complications in group T.

conclusionThe use of TXA in hepatectomy under CLCVP reduced the intraoperative blood transfusion rate and improved the postoperative bleeding outcome without increasing the risk of adverse events such as hepatic and renal insufficiency and thrombosis.
