'Training gap' - the present state of higher specialty training in adolescent and young adult health in medical specialties in the UK.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Young people often experience worse health outcomes and more dissatisfaction with healthcare compared with other age groups. This survey sought to determine the state of adolescent and young adult health training across medical specialties in the UK. An online questionnaire was distributed to higher specialty trainees in adult medical specialties. Training in adolescent/young adult health/transition was rated as minimal/non-existent by 70/73% of respondents, respectively; 52% reported that they had received no formal training and 61% had never attended a dedicated young person's or transition clinic. The most significant barrier to delivering good adolescent and young adult healthcare was felt to be lack of training to deal with adolescent issues. This survey has identified a 'training gap'; a lack of preparation to meet the specific care needs of the adolescent and young adult population. Improved interventions are required to help drive improvement in care for young people in the UK.
