Is it reasonable to use a lower DOACs dose in some patients with VTE? Yes.
Article in Internal and emergency medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In the Hokusai-VTE trial, 733 patients were treated with the reduced dose edoxaban regimen, which maintained efficacy and safety compared with the 60 mg dose, and was safer than warfarin. The prophylactic doses of apixaban and rivaroxaban reduced the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the extended treatment trials. Dabigatran 110 mg was approved by the European Medicine Agency for VTE treatment. Further data from registries and real-world studies will help to clarify whether patients, with other specific characteristics, can benefit from the reduced dose of direct oral anticoagulants.
