Physical activity for children with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism on anticoagulation: a scoping review.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2023. 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
Context: There are no clear pediatric guidelines on the return to physical activity following deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), particularly while being treated with anticoagulation. Objective: This scoping review aimed to examine the current literature on physical activity beyond simple ambulation for patients with DVT/PE being treated with anticoagulation. Data Sources: An electronic search for articles in MEDLINE, Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process, and Other Non-Indexed Citations, Daily (1946 to April 4, 2022), and Embase+Embase Classic (1946 to 2022, week 13) was conducted. Study Selection: (1) Patients of any age with DVT/PE, treated with anticoagulation; (2) studies of any design providing information on physical activity (ie, sport, exercise) while on anticoagulation; and (3) studies in English. Data Extraction: Data from eligible studies obtained included the study design, population, disease characteristics, and information on physical activity participation. Results: A total of 26 eligible studies were included. Only 2 studies were specific to children. Studies recommend a gradual return to participation in noncontact or low-risk activities after the first 3-4 weeks of anticoagulation, with close monitoring of symptoms. Participation in contact sports and activities is typically delayed until after anticoagulants are discontinued. However, personalized anticoagulation with intermittent dosing schedules has been proposed for athletes after the first 3 months of anticoagulation treatment. Conclusions: Physical activity participation guidelines for children with DVT/PE being treated with anticoagulation are needed, and the evidence currently available is limited. Largely based on evidence from adult patients, we present evidence-informed options to facilitate clinician recommendations for returning to activity.
