Systematic review on the effects of the discontinuation of the anticoagulant therapy and the postoperative bleeding, in patients under new oral anticoagulants after dental extraction.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: The present systematic review compares the effects of the discontinuation of the anticoagulant therapy and the postoperative bleeding, in patients under new oral anticoagulants after dental extraction. The purpose of this study is to determine the postoperative complications of the DOACs after a simple dental extraction in comparison to the VKAs and with patients not under anticoagulants. This study aims to determine the postoperative complications of the DOACs in the case of an alteration of the anticoagulant regimen before a dental extraction. Material and Methods: The electronic search was conducted on two databases (MedLine complete and Scopus). The research included patients under DOACs undergoing simple dental extraction. The inclusion criteria included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case series, retrospective cohort, prospective cohort and studies on human individuals. Results: 7 studies were selected, complying to all the inclusion criteria. 931 patients were treated. The bleeding rate was ranging from none, minor, moderate. All the studies included a postoperative follow up from the day of the surgery. The bleeding is immediate and minor after a dental extraction for patients under DOACs, VKAs and with no-OAT. Conclusions: The most frequent postoperative complication for patients under DOACs and patients under VKAs after a simple dental extraction is minor bleeding: immediate or delayed. DOACs seem to be a safe drug and do not require the discontinuation/alteration of the therapy for a simple dental extraction. Further studies are required to determine if surgical procedures in dentistry require an alteration of the DOAC regimen.
