Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Videolaryngoscope versus Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in adults with obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Videolaryngoscopy has become more common since the 2000s. Despite several anecdotal reports in the literature, it remains unclear whether videolaryngoscopy is superior to direct Macintosh laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in adults with obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on prospective randomised trials comparing videolaryngoscopes with the Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in adults with obesity. ⋯ Videolaryngoscopes were superior to the Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in adults with obesity. (GRADE score: low or very low.).

Review Meta Analysis
The effect of tranexamic acid to reduce blood loss and transfusion on off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery: A systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis.
To assess the safety and efficacy of tranexamic acid (TA) on off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery. ⋯ TA reduced the probability of receiving a PRBCs and FFP transfusion during OPCAB surgery. And no association with postoperative death and thrombotic events was found. However, further trials with an appropriate sample size are required to confirm TA safety in OPCAB surgery.
