Is Antifibrinolytic Therapy Effective for Preventing Hemorrhage in Patients with Hemophilia Undergoing Dental Extractions? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical and applied thrombosis/hemostasis : official journal of the International Academy of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis systematic review aims to analyze the systemic administration of antifibrinolytics (tranexamic acid and aminocaproic acid) to prevent postoperative bleeding in patients with hemophilia.
methodsThis systematic review was conducted adhering to PRISMA guidelines. Only randomized controlled trials that assessed human subjects of any age or gender with any severity of hemophilia undergoing dental extractions, and systemically administered antifibrinolytic therapy compared to placebo were included. Post-operative bleeding episodes and adverse events were presented. PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched through April 15, 2022. The risk ratio (RR) and odds ratio (OR) applying 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed using RevMan 5.4.1 (Cochrane).
resultsTwo randomized, placebo-controlled trials pooling in a total of 59 patients were pooled in this analysis. Among patients administered antifibrinolytic therapy, 84% reduced risk of post-operative bleeding was reported (RR = 0.16, 95% CI = 0.05-0.47, P = 0.0009). The chances of post-operative bleeding were reduced by 95% among the antifibrotics group (OR = 0.05, 95% CI = 0.01-0.22, P < 0.0001).
conclusionThis review finds favorable outcomes for the routine use of antifibrinolytic therapy for dental extractions in hemophiliacs. Further trials are required to rationalize existing evidence.
