1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewTransition-age patients with history of a pediatric brain tumor are at significant risk for difficulties transitioning to adulthood. We review current transition models and the potential role of neuropsychology in the transition process for adolescent and young adult brain tumor survivors. RECENT

findingsSeveral recently developed healthcare transition models include consideration of patients' cognitive and functional capacities, yet currently available transition readiness tools are limited in scope and do not possess adequate normative data across pediatric medical populations. We explore the potential utility and added benefit of systematically incorporating neuropsychology in the transition process for pediatric brain tumor survivors. The literature supports increased evaluation and intervention targeted at psychosocial barriers to transition. Based on these findings, we propose a family-centered and multidisciplinary care model that promotes both medical and broader psychosocial transition processes. Neuropsychology is ideally suited to assess the wide-ranging areas encompassed in transition readiness and to facilitate the transition process.
