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 investigate the efficacy and safety of high-dose tranexamic acid in different types of surgeries and provide a reference for clinical practice. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science, Embase, and CNKI databases, from their inception to January 2025, to include representative literature related to high-dose tranexamic acid in the perioperative period for a thematic synthesis. The analysis focused on clinical evidence related to obstetric, cardiac, urologic, orthopedic, and spinal surgeries. Results: High-dose tranexamic acid markedly reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements in most types of surgery; however, the optimal dose varies by surgery type. Available studies have shown a favorable safety profile; however, some areas (e.g., cardiac surgery) still require careful monitoring for seizures and risk of thrombotic events. Conclusion: The clinical benefit of high-dose tranexamic acid should be assessed based on surgical characteristics and patient individualization. More multicenter studies are needed to clarify the dose-effect relationship and long-term safety.
