The Trust-Link Relational Transition Model: A Unitary Caring Framework for Youth With HIV Transitioning to Adult Healthcare.
Review in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimsTo develop a conceptual model integrating Robinson's Theory of Trust and Watson's Caritas Processes to guide trust-building approaches and caring practices that support adolescents and young adults with HIV during the healthcare transition from paediatric to adult care.
designThis is a discursive, theory synthesis paper that integrates theoretical frameworks and conceptually relevant literature to inform model development. The paper emphasises the importance of trust and caring science in the context of long-term engagement in care.
methodsAn inductive theory-building approach was used to identify key themes related to trust, stigma and the patient-provider relationship. Using Pound and Campbell's guidelines for theory synthesis, we developed a conceptual model reflecting the intersection of trust theory and caring science. The synthesis was further grounded in Robinson's concept of theoretical coalescence, supporting the development of a relational framework to guide future research and practice. DATA SOURCES: A structured literature review was conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, EBSCOhost and Google Scholar. Peer-reviewed articles published between 1987 and 2022 were included to capture the historical and contemporary perspectives on paediatric HIV care and healthcare transition. A snowballing method was also used to identify additional conceptually relevant sources.
resultsThe Trust-Link Relational Transition Model highlights trust as a protective factor during transition for adolescents and young adults with HIV and its close links to medication adherence, care engagement and viral suppression. Fostering trust through caring science practices, such as Watson's 10 Caritas Processes, enhances patient-provider relationships, promotes reciprocal trust and empowers patients while addressing stigma, fear of new providers and loss of familiar teams, while promoting autonomy.
conclusionThe Trust-Link Model, integrating trust theory and caring science, provides a framework for improving healthcare transition. By emphasising trust-building and caring interventions, this model aims to promote autonomy, support adherence and improve health outcomes for youth with HIV transitioning to adult care.
