Study characteristics
Methods RCT
Participants 220 women undergoing laser miniconization as an out‐patient procedure for mild/moderate dyskaryosis. All women had vasopressin injected into the cervix prior to treatment.
Interventions Intravenous tranexamic acid during procedure and 1 g orally tds for 14 days
Outcomes Primary and secondary haemorrhage
Notes Citation duplicated to demonstrate two different study groups in analysis
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Unclear risk Not reported, "patients were prospectively randomised into one group given tranexamic acid ... and another group not given antifibrinolytic therapy".
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not reported
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias)
All outcomes Unclear risk Not reported
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias)
All outcomes Low risk For primary and secondary haemorrhage:
% analysed: 220/220 (100%)
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk Insufficient information to permit judgement
Other bias Unclear risk Patient baseline characteristics in the two groups were not reported so possibility of inexplicable differences between two groups.
