Provider's perspectives regarding transitional urologic care process: A scoping review.

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
Objective: To generate a scoping review that summarizes perceptions and attitudes of urology providers towards the transitional urologic care process. Likewise, summarize their identified barriers, facilitators, and ideal transition care for patients with genitourinary conditions. Method: A systematic literature search was performed in Oct 2021. Records were identified for studies relevant to assessing urology specialists' practice variation, perception of barriers, and attitudes toward transitional care of patients needing life-long urologic care. The methodological quality of the cross-sectional studies was assessed using AXIS. The information extracted was clustered according to identified themes from the included studies. This scoping review was part of a systematic review registered on PROSPERO-(CRD42022306229). Results: A total of 641 records were retrieved from electronic medical databases and cross-referencing. Ultimately, ten studies were included in this scoping review, conducted in the USA (n = 7), Canada, United Kingdom, and Italy. There is a wide variation in transitional care practices and preferences. However, the common themes extracted were: appropriate age to start the transition, additional training of the providers involved in transitional care, common transition plans, and practices, characteristics of multidisciplinary teams, potential barriers, areas of improvement, or facilitators for a better transitional process. Conclusion: Common to all reports, multiple barriers are perceived. Areas that require improvement and multidisciplinary systems are needed to enhance urologic transition care. In addition, factors such as the age cut-off between pediatric and adult care or which specialist should handle specific procedures and conditions before, during, and after transition are still unclear and typically depend on the stakeholders.
