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
purposeHealthcare transition readiness is crucial for adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors (AYA CCS) to ensure continuity of care as they move from pediatric to adult healthcare services. A systematic review of the evidence linking social determinants of health (SDoH) and healthcare transition readiness is needed to provide valuable insights into the impact of disparities on transition.
methodsA mixed-methods systematic review (MMSR) was conducted on studies published through November 2025. Quantitative data were extracted to assess measurable outcomes related to healthcare transition readiness and SDoH, while qualitative studies exploring the perceptions and experiences of AYA CCS, their families, and healthcare providers on transition readiness were analyzed using thematic synthesis. The final synthesis followed a convergent integrated approach, guided by the Healthy People 2030 SDoH framework.
resultsSeventeen studies (five quantitative and twelve qualitative) were included. Healthcare access and quality emerged as the most influential SDoH, with consistent evidence showing that relationships with knowledgeable healthcare providers, and access to health insurance and healthcare services were associated with healthcare transition readiness. Social and community context - including parental and peer support - also contributed to readiness. Evidence for economic stability was mixed, while education access and quality and neighborhood factors were the least examined and remain inconclusive. Integrated analysis indicated that structural (e.g., insurance, provider access) and relational SDoH (e.g., communication quality, family and peer support) influence healthcare transition readiness among AYA CCS. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This MMSR provides a comprehensive understanding of how SDoH impact healthcare transition readiness among AYA CCS. The findings underscore the need for future research to address gaps in the current literature and to improve transition outcomes and reduce disparities during the transition process in this population.
