What did we learn (and did not learn) from the pediatric direct oral anticoagulant trials, and how might we better design pediatric anticoagulant trials in the future?
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 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A State of the Art lecture titled "What the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) trials did and didn't tell us" was presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Congress in 2022. The use of DOACs in children is of particular interest as they exhibit several advantages over conventional anticoagulation agents most commonly used in pediatrics. To date, several DOAC pediatric investigational programs (PIPs) have been completed, and although they have provided some of the best quality of evidence in pediatric anticoagulation therapy, the data generated by these trials remain limited. Here, we review and summarize the currently available data provided by the DOAC PIPs, provide perspectives on what we have and have not learned from these trials, and how we might leverage this knowledge to optimize the design of future anticoagulant PIPs. Finally, we summarize relevant new data on this topic presented during the 2022 ISTH Congress.
