Parental experiences transitioning neurological impaired young adults to adult services.
Article in Health care transitions, 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
Background: Neonatal and paediatric care has been advancing. However, most young adults will need to transition from paediatric to adult healthcare services, which is more challenging and complex, especially for young adults with severe neurological impairment (SNI) due to significant healthcare needs. This study aimed to explore the experiences of parents of young adults with SNI who were part of the transition process of moving from children to adult healthcare services in an acute hospital setting. Method: An interpretative descriptive qualitative design was used to establish the experiences of eleven parents of young adults with SNI on transitioning from paediatric to adult healthcare services in an acute hospital setting. Results: Reflexive thematic analysis revealed a challenging and complex transition. Progress to adult healthcare services was a major shift in care. Additionally, challenges and worries about what is to come in relation to the transition and how to face the unknown situations. The parents of young adults with SNI involved in this study were not prepared or supported in moving from paediatric to adult healthcare services. This study provides in-depth insights into their transition experience. Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest that a more thoughtful and planned approach to transition is needed for young adults with SNI.
