Transition readiness assessment in cerebral palsy: A qualitative descriptive study.

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
aimTo explore the utility of a commonly used transition readiness assessment tool (Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire [TRAQ]) among adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and caregivers.
methodThis was a qualitative descriptive study using 21 semi-structured interviews (seven adults with CP, nine caregivers, five dyads) and matrix analysis.
resultsParticipants had many suggested edits to comprehensively assess transition readiness. Several adults with CP expressed that the tool appropriately assessed important skills for entering adulthood. Questions on managing medications and activities of daily living were identified as most relevant. However, caregivers found it difficult to answer questions as a caregiver and not the patient and felt that the tool was less applicable because they had been managing their child's needs for years. Distinguishing physical versus cognitive abilities presented another challenge because several participants noted that they or their child cognitively knew how to do certain tasks but were limited physically.
interpretationAssessing transition readiness is an important part of the transition to adulthood. Individuals with CP have a wide range of abilities that may not be adequately captured by TRAQ. A CP-specific tool should be sure to distinguish between these varied abilities and clearly delineate the caregiver role for young people with varying levels of support needs.
