1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aims to explore current hot topics and research trends in transition readiness for adolescents with chronic diseases using a bibliometric methodology. Methods: The Web of Science database core collection was searched for literature related to transition readiness in adolescents with chronic diseases published from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2024. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were adopted to analyze the publication characteristics. Results: The results showed that, the number of studies on transition readiness is increasing in a wave-like pattern. The hot topics about the transition readiness of adolescents with chronic diseases can be summarized as follows: adolescents with sickle cell disease, epilepsy, crohn's disease, transplantation and neurogastroenterology-related diseases, the validation of The Self-Management and Transition to Adult Treatment Questionnaire, the crucial role of parents, care coordination, vocational readiness, quality of life, and health literacy. Based on the burst keywords, transition readiness-related influencing factors, comprehensively exploring the transition readiness of adolescents with chronic diseases, identifying specific intervention goals, and systematically constructing intervention programs may be future research trends. Conclusions: This study systematically reviews the current state of research on transition readiness for adolescents with chronic diseases and analyzes potential future trends that can provide input into the direction of healthcare transition research. Practical implications: By highlighting hot topics and trends in the field, this research contributes to raising awareness among healthcare professionals and researchers of areas in need of further attention, and helps them to identify potential gaps and opportunities in their own clinical practice or research efforts.
