Handing off hope: transition of care in pediatric surgery.
Review in Surgical endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe importance of transitioning care from pediatric to adult practitioners is an often overlooked aspect of chronic disease. The benefits of a planned transition in health care are that patients will learn valuable life-long lessons on healthcare maintenance, when and how to seek medical attention for new issues that may arise, and improvements on their overall well-being. The purpose of this SAGES White Paper was to summarize the available knowledge for several pediatric surgical conditions to aid in transition of care for this patient population.
methodsThe members of the SAGES Pediatric Surgery Committee elected to produce this White Paper. The group chose to focus on several important gastrointestinal diseases that may require lifelong care: tracheoesophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, anorectal malformations, childhood obesity, and gastrointestinal malignancies. For each disease process a summary of long term issues facing these patients, stakeholders involved, and follow up recommendations if required were identified.
resultsEach disease process has its own unique set of long-term issues as well as multidisciplinary stakeholders and need for follow-up. However, individualized care is needed based on each patient's unique needs. To facilitate consistent transfer of care standardization is needed for surgical diseases. Key aspects of standardization include identifying a multidisciplinary team, working towards consistent quality improvement, and implementation of policy guided processes with individual treatment plans.
conclusionContinued work in standardizing transition of care is required for optimal treatment of this complex patient population.
