1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionCompared with the incidence of venous thromboembolism in the adult population, pediatric VTE is rare. Yet, recent data suggest that the incidence of VTE in children is increasing, and little is known about the optimal duration of anticoagulation in pediatrics. Areas covered: This review summarizes current evidence-based adult recommendations and associated clinical trials from which current guidelines on the duration of anticoagulation in children have been extrapolated. It also discusses pediatric expert consensus-based guidelines and current pediatric clinical trials on duration of therapy in pediatric VTE. Expert commentary: The vast majority of pediatric VTE are provoked, and evidence on duration of anticoagulation for pediatric VTE is highly limited, but suggests that a maximum duration of 3 months is reasonable for most patients with provoked VTE, whereas longer duration is likely appropriate for unprovoked VTE. Whether shorter duration than 3 months is optimal for pediatric provoked VTE is as yet unclear. Results from the multinational randomized controlled trial studying the duration of anticoagulant therapy for provoked VTE in patients <21 years old (Kids-DOTT) will be critical to inform the future standard of care in pediatric VTE treatment.
