Long-term implications of structured transition of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease into adult health care: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundWe aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical and socioeconomic outcome of structured transition care in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
methodsWe compared the clinical long-term course of 24 patients with and 11 patients without structured transition care within 24 months before and 24 months after transfer from paediatric to adult health care. Socio-economic parameters and quality of life were assessed by IBD Questionnaire (IBDQ-32) and additional items. Treatment costs were calculated for medication, surgery and hospitalisation.
resultsThe percentage of transfer group patients with an IBD-related intestinal complication was higher compared to the transition group (64% vs. 21%, p = 0.022). We also found a tendency towards a higher number of IBD-related surgery in the transfer group compared to the transition group (46% vs. 13%, p = 0.077). Transfer group patients received higher mean cumulated doses of radiation compared with the transition group (4.2 ± 5.3 mSv vs. 0.01 ± 0.01 mSv, p = 0.036). Delayed puberty was only noted in the transfer group (27%, p = 0.025). Mean expenditures for surgeries and hospitalisation tended to be lower in the transition group compared to transfer group patients (744 ± 630€ vs. 2,691 ± 4,150€, p = 0.050). Sexual life satisfaction was significantly higher (p = 0.023) and rates of loose bowel movements tended to be lower (p = 0.053) in the transition group.
conclusionsStructured transition of adolescents with IBD from paediatric into adult health care can lead to important clinical and economic benefits.
