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

backgroundAdolescents and young adults (AYA) with asthma and allergies have unexpectedly high mortality and morbidity. A survey in 2019 amongst healthcare professionals (HCPs) in Europe highlighted significant gaps in transition care, which negatively impacts patients' outcomes. Since then, an evidence-based guideline and practical toolbox for effective transition of AYA with asthma and allergies have been published.

aimsTo assess HCPs' perspectives, practice and challenges on transition care for AYA with asthma and allergies, including the impact of the recent guideline, potential differences across countries and changes since 2019.

methodsCross-sectional online survey-based study. European HCP managing AYA with allergies and/or asthma were invited to participate in May-June 2023.

results511 responses were collected. Amongst respondents, 60%-70% were familiar with the guideline and toolbox, and found them helpful. At least for selected patients, 50%-85% of respondents adhered to some guideline recommendations and initiatives/resources for transition care such as simplifying medication regimes, seeing AYA on their own or producing transition reports. We observed improvements compared to 2019 in areas such as prioritising transition, training, assessment of psychosocial issues and transition readiness, access to other HCP, transfer and post-transfer feedback systems. However, 20% of respondents had no transition process and around 50% had no transition-specific elements. Sixty percent found transition care 'very' or 'moderately challenging', with transition not being prioritised, time constraints and limited expertise on psychosocial issues as leading problems. Significant differences were observed in transition practice across countries.

conclusionDespite improvement in training and approach towards transition care, challenges and limitations persist in effectively implementing evidence-based guidelines. Raising greater awareness about the need for, and the positive impact of high-quality transition care amongst policy-makers, HCP, and patients/families remains a key priority to unlock resources for training and effective implementation at a national/international level.
