Development and Validation of the Adolescent Assessment of Preparation for Transition: A Novel Patient Experience Measure.

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
purposeSignificant gaps exist in health care transition (HCT) preparation that can impact care and outcomes in young adults with chronic illness. No quality measure exists to directly assess adolescent experiences of HCT preparation. Our objective was to develop an adolescent-reported measure of the quality of HCT preparation received from pediatric health care providers.
methodsThe Adolescent Assessment of Preparation for Transition (ADAPT) is a 26-item mailed survey designed for completion by 16- and 17-year-old adolescents with a chronic health condition. Adolescents from three samples (two large Medicaid insurance plans [n = 3,000 each] and one large tertiary care pediatric hospital [n = 623]) were mailed the survey. An iterative developmental process included focus groups and cognitive interviews, and validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and ordinal reliability coefficients.
resultsReliability and validity was evaluated for the following three prespecified composite measures: (1) counseling on transition self-management; (2) counseling on prescription medication; and (3) transfer planning. Across the three samples, all but one measure had good internal consistency (ordinal reliability coefficient ≥ .7). Confirmatory factor analysis using tetrachoric correlation coefficients was stable across samples and supported the construct validity of the first two composite measures.
conclusionsADAPT is a reliable, validated instrument measuring the quality of HCT preparation experiences reported by adolescents with chronic disease. ADAPT will enable clinical programs and health care delivery systems to assess the quality of HCT preparation and provide targets for improvement in adolescent counseling related to transition.
