A forest plot diagram showing blood loss. Nine RCTs reported IBL; three RCTs reported HBS and seven RCTs reported total blood loss. The pooled data showed that the TXA with tourniquet group had significantly decreased IBL (MD =  − 109.89, 95% CI [− 148.04, − 71.74], P < 0.00001). However, the TXA without tourniquet group has significantly increased HBL (MD = 117.64, 95% CI [52.4, 182.88], P = 0.0004). Both groups experienced similar TBL (MD = 7.13, 95% CI [− 46.23, 60.49], P = 0.79)
