Transition of Care to Late Adolescent/Adults in Paediatric Surgery: Perspectives From Indian Paediatric Surgeons.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. 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: As survival rates improve for children with surgical conditions, there is a growing need for structured transition of care (TOC) for adolescence and adulthood. This study aimed to assess the attitudes and practices of Indian pediatric surgeons regarding TOC in pediatric surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from January to September 2025, using a pre-tested, validated, structured online questionnaire comprising both quantitative and open-ended qualitative questions that covered practice patterns, awareness, and implementation of TOC, delivered via a secure web platform. Results: A total of 120 pediatric surgeons participated, including 78/120 (65%) from the government/autonomous/private teaching sectors (TS) and 42/120 (35%) from the private nonteaching sector (PS); 50/120 (41.7%) had >15-year experience. Most centers treated patients aged 18 years or less (67/120, 55.8%), with no sectoral difference ( Conclusion: Resource constraints, workforce shortages, and inadequate training are structural barriers rather than attitudinal resistance in TOC. Most pediatric surgeons support collaboration, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary efforts that can encourage policymakers to prioritize joint care initiatives.
