Factors Influencing the Implementation of Transitional Care for Adolescents With Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities: Experiences of Dutch Healthcare Professionals.
Article in Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR, 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 transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is particularly challenging for adolescents with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) and their families. This study aims to identify factors that Dutch healthcare professionals perceived as relevant to successful implementation of transitional care for adolescents with PIMD.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 professionals working in paediatric and adult healthcare. Data were analysed using directed content analysis, guided by Flottorp's checklist (2013) on preventing and enabling factors of improvements in healthcare.
resultsTransitional care approaches vary at interpersonal, organisational and environmental levels. Enabling factors were parental self-reliance and competencies, a holistic perspective, professional networks, continuity and coordination of care, flexibility to deviate from standards and guidance from nonmedical actors. Preventing factors were family burden and emotions, suboptimal information transfer, insufficient agenda-setting, shortages of expert physicians and legal and administrative challenges. Continuous parental involvement and appropriate financial funding were enabling. The provision of person-centred care was considered essential.
conclusionsSuccessful implementation of transitional care for adolescents with PIMD is a multifaceted process characterised by structural and personal challenges. Providing person-centred care increases the likelihood of appropriate transitional care in PIMD-care.
