Transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare: Exploring the practices and experiences of care providers.
Article in Journal of child health care : for professionals working with children in the hospital and community, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Complex paediatric health conditions are increasingly associated with survival into adulthood resulting in more youth with complex care needs (CCN) transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare. Current transition practices, when present, are disorganized, resulting in health status deterioration and complications due to unmet needs. The aim of this qualitative descriptive study is to develop a broader understanding of the current transition practices and experiences, as well as recommendations of care providers who support youth with CCN in the transition from paediatric to adult healthcare. Fifteen care providers from two Eastern Canadian provinces were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The data collected were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis following the six phases outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings from this research demonstrate (1) a shortage of care providers, (2) inconsistent timing for transition initiation, and (3) lack of available community resources and services. Participant recommendations include (1) a designated transition coordinator; (2) transition policy implementation; (3) improved collaboration between and across care teams; and (4) the integration of virtual care to facilitate the transition process. The results of this study can potentially improve transition practices and policies and guide future research in this area.
