Cliff or bridge: breaking up with the paediatric healthcare system.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a normal part of the care trajectory, yet the process often leaves much to be desired. In this commentary, I share my family's journey of this care transition, particularly the handover aspect, by providing examples of different ways that relationships were ended by paediatric healthcare professionals. The ending of these relationships often felt like 'breaking up'. I also share an example of a supported handover, which bridged the transition from paediatric to adult care. To improve transitions, we need genuine acknowledgement of the paediatric medical trauma stress (PMTS) experienced by families such as mine following years of interactions in the healthcare system. Along with following transition checklists, patients and families need authentic and meaningful closure to longitudinal relationships and trauma-informed care practices as we move forward into the adult care system.
