Barriers to the Successful Health Care Transition of Patients with Kidney Disease: A Mixed-Methods Study on the Perspectives of Adult Nephrologists.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The transition from paediatric to adult-based health care is a challenging period bearing a high risk of medication nonadherence and transplant loss in adolescents and young adults after kidney transplantation. Successful transition asks for the cooperation of many, not least the adult physicians. Yet little is known about their thoughts and attitudes on the transition. We conducted a cross-sectional mixed-methods study, inviting all nephrologists registered with the German Society of Nephrology. A total of 119/1984 nephrologists answered an online survey, and 9 nephrologists participated in expert interviews on transition experiences and perceived barriers. Interviews were thematically analysed. Based on the results, 30 key statements were listed and returned to participants for a ranking of their relevance. The main themes extracted are (1) available resources, (2) patient-related factors, (3) qualification and (4) preparation of and cooperation with the paediatric setting. In conclusion, it became evident that successful transition faces multiple obstacles. At the least, it asks for time, staff, and money. Rigid structures in health care leave little room for addressing the specific needs of this small group of patients. Transition becomes a topic one wants to and is able to afford.
