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
backgroundPediatric neurogastroenterology and motility (NGM) disorders frequently persist into adulthood, yet there are no standardized transition of care (TOC) practices for this patient population. We characterized current TOC practices for adolescents and young adults with NGM disorders across North America.
methodsA survey was distributed through listservs for North American pediatric gastroenterologists, registered dietitians, and advanced practice providers. The survey assessed institutional characteristics, TOC practices, team structure, handoff practices, barriers, and unmet needs. KEY
resultsSixty-nine respondents from 40 unique medical centers completed the survey. Most practiced at academic medical centers (75.5%), with 66% having adult NGM providers at their institution. The majority transitioned patients at ages 18-19 years (44.1%) using patient interviews to assess readiness (61.8%), while only 2.9% used validated assessment tools. Most patients transferred to adult general gastroenterologists (76.5%) or adult NGM experts (64.7%). Infrastructure gaps were identified: 88.2% lacked transition coordinators, 91.3% had no formal transition teams, and no centers received financial support for transition services. Significant barriers reported were need for more adult NGM clinicians (60.3%) and patient hesitancy with transitioning care (58.3%). Respondents identified the greatest needs as more adult NGM clinicians, having dedicated transition coordinators, and formal transition protocols.
conclusionsThis first national survey of NGM transition practices reveals gaps in infrastructure, workforce, and standardized protocols. Addressing these deficiencies requires coordinated efforts between pediatric and adult NGM communities and healthcare institutions to establish evidence-based practices that ensure continuity of care for this vulnerable patient population.
