1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Adolescents and young adults with childhood-onset lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) face significant challenges transitioning from paediatric to adult urological care, a period often marked by disrupted care continuity, reduced adherence, and psychosocial stress. This transition remains poorly studied in urology. STREAMWAY aims to explore adolescents' perceptions, attitudes, and lived experiences during this phase. This exploratory qualitative study uses semi-structured interviews, supplemented by validated questionnaires, in participants aged 16-25 years with childhood LUTS currently undergoing or having recently completed transition to adult care. The primary endpoint is to map perceptions and experiences of transition, identifying barriers and facilitators to transition success. Secondary endpoints include current urinary symptoms, sleep quality, quality of life, bowel and genitourinary symptoms, and adverse childhood experiences. Approximately 20 participants will be enrolled. Data collection includes pre-interview completion of urological care timelines and growth curves, followed by a 60-minute semi-structured interview and validated questionnaires (ICIQ-MLUTS/FLUTS, ICIQ-LUTSqol, PSQI, EQ-5D-5L, ACE-IQ, CCCS, GUPI). Qualitative data will undergo thematic and interpretative phenomenological analysis; quantitative data will be analysed descriptively, with integration of both findings.
