Effect of tranexamic acid irrigation on perioperative blood loss during mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A pilot double-blind randomised controlled trial.

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
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding 0.1% tranexamic acid (TXA) to irrigation fluid in reducing perioperative blood loss during mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL). Patients and Methods: In this prospective, randomised study, 40 patients undergoing mini-PCNL were allocated to receive irrigation fluid containing either 0.1% TXA ( Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups. The TXA group had significantly less haemoglobin decline (0.5 g/dl vs. 1.5 g/dl) and lower estimated blood loss (91.7 ml vs. 169.0 ml) compared with the placebo group (both Conclusion: The addition of 0.1% TXA to irrigation fluid during mini-PCNL significantly reduces perioperative blood loss and appears to be safe in this pilot cohort, without increasing complications observed in the study.
