Development and design of a Blueprint for structured transitional care in adolescents and young adults in the academic hospital setting.

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
Background and purpose: A generic, structured transitional care pathway dedicated to patients in the academic setting is currently lacking. This study aimed to identify the key factors influencing a successful transition from pediatric to adult care for adolescents and young adults and to develop a generic, hospital-wide Blueprint for transitional care in such settings, using intervention mapping as the guiding method. Method: A combination of literature review, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews was carried out, leading to a logical model of the problem in a situation where transition is poorly managed or when transitional care is absent in the academic setting. This model helped outline the behavioral objectives, determinants, and change goals, which were then transformed into practical applications. Key interventions were identified and integrated into a coherent Blueprint for transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare. A Transition Programme Development Working Group and a Transition Patient Council have been involved in every step of the Blueprint's development. Results: The Blueprint for structured transitional care promotes pediatric and adult collaboration through eight key interventions, including two joint consultations, one double-time consultation, and appointing a transition coordinator who annually prepares and updates individual transition plans. Conclusion: Intervention mapping helped designing a structured, personalized Blueprint as an evidence based example for transitioning patients with rare and chronic conditions in an academic hospital. The Blueprint described in this article is currently being implemented and evaluated across six pilot departments. If proven effective, it can be disseminated more widely.
