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 determine whether tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces blood loss and transfusion rate in single-stage bilateral combined surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 148 children with bilateral DDH who underwent single-stage bilateral combined surgery between March 2021 and May 2025. Patients were categorized into a TXA group ( Results: The TXA group exhibited significantly lower EBL compared with the control group (117.5 ± 7.7 mL vs. 171.4 ± 11.3 mL; Conclusions: TXA significantly reduces EBL and both total and intraoperative transfusion rates in children undergoing single-stage bilateral combined surgery for DDH, without affecting the risk of complications.
