Health care gap affects 20% of United States population: Transition from pediatric to adult health care.
Article in Health policy OPEN, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Transition-aged youth and young adults, ages 12 to 26, represent almost 20% of the US population, and an estimated 25%-35% have one or more chronic conditions. The vast majority of youth with and without special health care needs do not receive the necessary and professionally recommended services to transition from pediatric to adult care. Without adequate support during this transition, youth and young adults face an increased risk of adverse outcomes. To accelerate adoption of recommended transition processes in both pediatric and adult systems of care, the authors offer a series of implementation, payment, and research options that are consistent with clinical guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American College of Physicians.
