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

purpose of reviewThe transition to adult healthcare is difficult for young adults with diabetes, with declining glycemic control and reduced healthcare utilization. Efforts are needed to facilitate an effective transfer of care. Our study aimed to systematically review the literature and identify studies evaluating the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve transition readiness and/or the transfer to adult care, describe their characteristics and outcomes, and identify areas for future research. RECENT

findingsTwenty-six studies were included with one randomized control trial and many pre-post studies observing the impact of transition programs. Generally, interventions had no clear benefit on metabolic outcomes, with variable improvement in care satisfaction and transition readiness. Studies often did not satisfy quality metrics, report important contextual factors (e.g. race, ethnicity) or involve family members. The current literature on interventions to improve transition readiness and transfer of care outcomes in young adults with diabetes is relatively limited with few studies applying rigorous methods. Future studies should apply formal methodology, include both medical and psychosocial outcomes and account for patient and health system context.
