Effect of Prophylactic Tranexamic Acid in Per-operative and Post-operative Blood Loss in Hysterectomy for Benign Condition: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: The most common nutritional deficiency condition in the world is anaemia. Hysterectomy is the second-most frequently performed major surgery on women in the world. Amongst the list of per-operative and post-operative complications associated with hysterectomy of all routes, blood loss is one of the most common complications, leading to mortality and morbidity of the patient. Tranexamic acid has been proven to lower blood loss in various other surgical and non-surgical fields. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-haemorrhagic effect of prophylactic tranexamic acid in blood loss in hysterectomy for benign conditions. Methods: A randomized prospective study was conducted at JSS Medical Hospital, Mysuru. A total of 272 women between the age of 35-60 years undergoing abdominal, vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions were taken for the study, grouped randomly to either case group or control group. Case group received 1 g tranexamic acid diluted in 10ML normal saline via intravenous route at the beginning of surgery. Control group were not given anything. Intraoperative blood loss was calculated by addition of weight difference of wet and dry mops, wet and dry perineal sheet, amount of blood collected in suction drain. Gravimetric method was for calculation. Postoperatively need of parenteral iron injection or blood transfusion was seen. Data were tabulated using Microsoft Excel data sheet. SPSS 22 version software was used to analyse the data. Results: In the study, mean blood loss among cases was 238.16 ± 92.16 mL, among controls was 375.96 ± 137.77 mL with Conclusion: Prophylactic usage of tranexamic acid in hysterectomy for benign conditions lowers the blood loss and the need for post-operative interventions, morbidity, mortality.
