Review Meta Analysis
Antifibrinolytic agents for paediatric scoliosis surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. ⋯ This meta-analysis concludes that antifibrinolytics lead to statistically significant reductions in peri-operative blood loss, intra-operative blood loss, reduced fresh frozen plasma requirements and reduced post-operative blood loss with TXA. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.

Review Meta Analysis
Is cell transplantation a reliable therapeutic strategy for spinal cord injury in clinical practice? A systematic review and meta-analysis from 22 clinical controlled trials.
It is an open question whether cell transplantation can provide safety and effective outcome to spinal cord injury (SCI) patient which has remained controversial for almost 40 years. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cell transplantation in SCI patients. ⋯ Cell transplantation appears to be a safe therapeutic strategy possessing substantial beneficial effects in the patients with SCI in clinic. Moreover, treating SCI with stem cell, the dosage of cells between 1-5 × 107 and 10-20 × 107, in intermediate or chronic phase, minimally invasive techniques, may bring more advantage to SCI patient.
