Design and Implementation of My Health, My Heart: A Pilot Healthcare Transition Program for Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease.

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
Effective healthcare transition for congenital heart disease (CHD) patients to adult-centered care remains a significant challenge. Virtual, family-centered transition programs incorporating individualized goal setting may improve readiness. My Health, My Heart is a 12-month virtual, family centric transition program for patients (12-22 years) with CHD. It includes a social work assessment, individualized goal setting, and sessions focused on medical knowledge, care coordination, and mental health. Validated assessments (transition readiness, health knowledge, PedsQL 4.0, PROMIS anxiety and depression, and parental PSS) were delivered at baseline and completion. Primary outcome was feasibility (enrollment, retention, and barriers); secondary outcomes included changes in transition readiness, medical knowledge, and quality of life. A total of 68 participants (median age 16[13.75-18], 38% F] enrolled, with 41 (60%, median age 16[13-18], 39% F) patients completing both goals. Attrition was highest (37%) from completion of initial surveys to the first goal. Participants reported improvements in confidence managing heart health (median score 6.5[4.25-8] to 8[6-9]) and transition readiness (median score 5[4-8] to 7[5-9]). Quality-of-life scores increased significantly (PedsQL total: 79.4 ± 15.3 → 84.4 ± 15.7, p = 0.006). Among completers, 80% of participants and 90% of caregivers reported being very or extremely satisfied. Qualitative feedback identified ongoing needs in mental health support, practical life skills, and peer connection. The My Health, My Heart telemedicine transition program is feasible and suggests early improvements in quality of life and transition readiness, underscoring the importance of individualized support and caregiver engagement.
