Bridging the Gap: A Review of Pediatric to Adult Transition of Care in Liver Transplantation.
Review in Pediatric transplantation, 2025. 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
backgroundWith improvements in long-term graft function and survival, an increasing population of pediatric liver transplant (LT) recipients now require adult care. A process to successfully transition young adults to adult LT centers is supported in the literature with discussions on the rationale for health care transition (HCT), barriers to transition, stakeholder perspectives, and transfer readiness (TR). Results of outcomes studies are difficult to generalize and there remains no standard of care for HCT in LT. Of concern is that the youth's increasing independence occurs during a period of developmental vulnerability, with a threat to graft function due to risk-taking behaviors, specifically nonadherence, that may lead to rejection, graft loss, and death. OBJECTIVES/
methodThe purpose of this comprehensive literature review is to discuss current knowledge, practices, and outcomes of HCT for LT recipients with additional support from literature in solid organ transplant (SOT) and pediatric-onset chronic conditions literature.
resultsRecent position statements in LT and SOT express a greater awareness of the importance of HCT with broad agreement that reflects a similarity in approach in endorsing HCT as an essential process that should be initiated in early adolescence with TR as a primary determinant of transfer; however, standardization with consistent outcomes measurement is lacking. The literature supports transition as an esential component of care that should be initated in early adolescence with programs that address knowlege, skill-development, and advocacy. The engagement of all stakeholders in LT is essential to program development.
conclusionsThere is increasing awareness among the multidisciplinary team of the importance and role of the adult provider in extending transitional care into the adult setting as executive functioning skills mature. Outcome measures need to be clearly defined and standardized. Regulatory agency involvement to validate and support the need for TOC programs is crucial and should promote outcomes research for best practice program standardization.
