Tranexamic acid in arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears in the shoulder: a randomized trial.
Trial report in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of tranexamic acid in improving intraoperative visual clarity in patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears.
methodsThis prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial was conducted in Brazil, between July 2020 and September 2022, including patients who underwent surgery for arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears.
resultsIn total, 20 patients were included in each group: control, oral, and intravenous. There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding intraoperative interventions, including duration of surgery, anesthesia time, number of ablations, increase in irrigation pump pressure, or total volume of irrigating solution used. Likewise, no differences were observed between groups in the assessment of visual clarity, either subjective (initial, final, and median) or objective, although the groups that received tranexamic acid had slightly lower average turbidity compared to the control group.
conclusionTranexamic acid use did not demonstrate benefits concerning the objective/subjective visual clarity between the evaluated groups.
