aEach team produced one LSR unless otherwise stated

bThese three LSRs were part of a suite of LSRs that used a single search

cRefers to the first in the suite of LSRs published: Parenteral anticoagulation in ambulatory patients with cancer.

dRefers to the second in the suite of LSRs published: Oral anticoagulation in people with cancer who have no therapeutic or prophylactic indication for anticoagulation.

eRefers to the third in the suite of LSRs published: Anticoagulation for the long-term treatment of venous thromboembolism in people with cancer.

fIncludes new (not ongoing) studies that were screened and found to meet the inclusion criteria for the review until the end of the pilot period

gData presented for all three reviews (as appropriate, given they transitioned into living mode at different times during the pilot period) given the same search fed into all reviews and they were managed by the same author and editorial teams
