Disparities and outcomes of patients living with Down Syndrome undergoing healthcare transitions from pediatric to adult care: A scoping review.
Article in American journal of medical genetics. Part A, 2022. 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
Down Syndrome (DS) is one of the most common chromosomal disorders worldwide, and people with DS experience more co-morbidities and have poorer health outcomes compared to the general population. An area that is not well understood is how patients with DS transition from pediatric to adult care, as well as the details, barriers, and difficulties of these transitions for patients. Hence, we aimed to provide a scoping review of the literature in PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL on the topic of healthcare transitions (HCTs) for patients with DS. Findings suggest patients with DS who continued receiving care as an adult from a pediatric care provider tended to experience co-morbidities and other adverse health issues at higher rates than those who entirely switch to an adult-care team. Patients with DS were unable to undergo transition due to multiple barriers, such as low income, limited/public insurance, gender, and race. We propose potential steps for transition, which focus on ensuring early planning, communicating better, coordinating services, assessing decision-making capacity, and providing ongoing social and financial support. Future research must further identify and address barriers to HCTs for people with DS.
