Tranexamic Acid Versus no Tranexamic Acid in Spinal Tumor and Metastasis Surgery-Meta-Analysis.
Review in Global spine journal, 2026. 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
Study DesignMeta-analysis.ObjectivesSpinal tumors and metastases remain a challenge for spine surgeons, with a significant risk of perioperative blood loss, which might require blood transfusions and lead to increased complications. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent widely used in various surgical procedures; however, its efficacy in spinal oncology surgery remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of TXA on perioperative outcomes, mainly blood loss, among patients with oncological spines undergoing surgery.MethodsPubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched from inception for eligible articles. We included studies assessing TXA vs no TXA or placebo on perioperative outcomes among patients with spinal tumors or metastases.ResultsAfter a comprehensive search, seven studies were included. Blood loss (MD -111.75 mL; 95% CI -217.08 to -6.43;
