Transition practices for survivors of childhood cancer: a report from the Children's Oncology Group.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
purposePediatric healthcare systems must support childhood cancer survivors to optimize their transition to adult care. This study aimed to assess the state of healthcare transition services provided by Children's Oncology Group (COG) institutions.
methodsA 190-question online survey was distributed to 209 COG institutions to assess survivor services, including transition practices, barriers, and implementation of services aligned with the six core elements of Health Care Transition 2.0 from the US Center for Health Care Transition Improvement.
resultsRepresentatives from 137 COG sites reported on institutional transition practices. Two-thirds (66.4%) of site discharge survivors to another institution for cancer-related follow-up care in adulthood. Transfer to primary care (33.6%) was a commonly reported model of care for young adult-aged survivors. Site transfer at ≤ 18 years (8.0%), ≤ 21 years (13.1%), ≤ 25 years (7.3%), ≥ 26 years (12.4%), or when survivors are "ready" (25.5%). Few institutions reported offering services aligned with the structured transition process from the six core elements (Median = 1, Mean = 1.56, SD = 1.54, range: 0-5). The most prevalent barriers to transitioning survivors to adult care were perceived lack of late-effects knowledge among clinicians (39.6%) and perceived lack of survivor desire to transfer care (31.9%).
conclusionsMost COG institutions transfer adult-aged survivors of childhood cancer elsewhere for survivor care, yet few programs report delivering recognized standards for quality healthcare transition programming to support survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Development of best practices for survivor transition is needed to help promote increased early detection and treatment of late effects among adult survivors of childhood cancer.
