Intravenous Injection of Tranexamic Acid in Patients with Pelvic Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Article in Hip & pelvis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy of intravenous injections of tranexamic acid (TXA) in reducing perioperative blood loss in patients scheduled for open reduction and internal fixation for pelvic fractures (Tile B and C). A study population with greater homogeneity was selected to minimize confounding variables related to fracture and fixation methods that may reflect an accurate result. Materials and Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial including 100 patients who received either 15 mg/kg of TXA added to 40 mL saline twice separated by 3 hours interval or a similar volume of normal saline (~50 mL twice in same manner) intravenously. Measurement of hemoglobin was performed preoperatively and postoperatively. Blood loss in drain, blood units transfused, and complications were recorded. Results: The mean decrease in hematocrit levels (preoperatively and postoperatively) was 3.2% in the trial group versus 3.7% in the control group ( Conclusion: Intravenous injection of TXA in pelvic fractures was effective in reducing blood loss and the rates of blood transfusion. There were no associated thromboembolic complications.
