Efficacy of a Transitional Support Program Among Adolescent Patients With Childhood-Onset Chronic Diseases: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
It is recommended that patients with childhood-onset chronic diseases (CCD) be transferred from pediatric to adult healthcare systems when they reach adulthood. Transitional support helps adolescents with CCD transition smoothly. Transition readiness is one of the key concepts to assess the efficacy of transitional support programs. This study aims to investigate the effect of a transitional support program on transition readiness, self-esteem, and independent consciousness among Japanese adolescents with various CCD using a randomized controlled trial. Adolescents with CCD aged 12-18 years participated in a randomized controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of a transitional support program. The patients in the intervention group visited transitional support outpatient clinics twice. They answered questionnaires regarding their disease and future perspectives to healthcare professionals and independently made a short summary of their disease. All the participants answered the questionnaires four times. Eighty patients participated in this study. Among those in the intervention group, transition readiness within one, three, and 6 months after interventions, and self-esteem within 1 month after interventions were higher than that of the control group. The scores on the "dependence on parents" subscale at 6 months after interventions were lower for the intervention group as compared to the control group. This program is expected to help patients transition smoothly from pediatric to adult healthcare systems.
