TXA: Tranexamic acid; CI: Confidence interval; SD: Standard deviation; IV: Inverse variance; df: Degree of freedom.

Figure 7 Trial sequential analysis of tranexamic acid on risk of intertrochanteric fractures.
The diversity-adjusted required information size was calculated using α = 0.05 (two sided), β = 0.20 (power 80%), and a relative risk reduction of 20%; the blue cumulative Z-curve was carried out using a random-effects model.
