Comparative Analysis of the Effectiveness of Tranexamic Acid in Controlling Surgical Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Liposuction.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLiposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgeries, and blood loss is one of its major complications. Tranexamic acid (TXA), an antifibrinolytic drug, has been shown to reduce blood loss in many surgeries. In this prospective study, the effect of TXA on blood loss in patients, who underwent three different procedures including suction-assisted lipoplasty, vibrational amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER)-assisted lipoplasty and LipoSaver, was compared.
methodsThirty-five patients were enrolled in the study. Patients who underwent VASER2.2 technology were assigned to group 1 (n = 12), patients who underwent LipoSaver2000 technology were assigned to group 2 (n = 12), and patients who underwent SAL were assigned to group 3 (n = 11). For each patient, demographic data, tumescent solution and aspirate volumes, and hemoglobin and hematocrit values in the aspirate were compared.
resultsThere was no difference in tumescent volume between the groups, but the aspirate volume from group 3 was significantly higher than the aspirate volume of group 1 (p = 0.001). No difference was detected in terms of Hgb and Hct values in each liter of aspirate, both in terms of the applied liposuction method and TXA application. Additionally, no correlation was observed between gender, age, total inflated volume, total aspirate volume and device use time and Hgb and Htc values in the aspirate.
conclusionNo significant differences were determined between lipoaspirate, VASER, LipoSaver and SAL in terms of blood loss, and TXA application did not significantly change the Hgb and Htc values in lipoaspirate.
