Awareness and Perceived Need for Transitional Care in Childhood-Onset Cardiomyopathy Among Adult Cardiologists: A Nationwide Survey in Japan.
Article in Circulation reports, 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: Transitional care is essential for patients with childhood-onset chronic diseases to ensure age-appropriate lifelong care. In contrast to congenital heart disease (CHD), for which transition/transfer systems have been relatively well established, childhood-onset cardiomyopathy (ChO-CM) lacks an established transitional care system in Japan. Our previous nationwide survey clarified the pediatric cardiologists' perspective, but awareness of and perceived need for transitional care among adult cardiologists have remained unclear. Therefore, this study investigated adult cardiologists' awareness of and perceived need for transitional care for ChO-CM. Methods and Results: A nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted in 1,347 cardiovascular departments in Japan to examine adult cardiologists' awareness of and perceived need for transitional care for ChO-CM. Valid responses were obtained from 332 departments. Among the respondents, 157 (47.3%) were aware of transitional care, whereas 200 (60.2%) answered that transitional care was necessary for all CM cases. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that experience in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) was independently associated with both awareness of transitional care and perceived need for it. Conclusions: Awareness of transitional care for ChO-CM among adult cardiologists in Japan remains limited. However, most respondents recognized the need for transitional care. Clinical experience with HCM may promote recognition of the importance of transitional care. These findings highlight the need to develop structured transition systems for patients with ChO-CM in Japan.
