The effects of transitional care intervention on health outcomes in burn patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 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: Burn patients often face challenges such as discontinuity of care, high risk of complications, and psychological adaptation difficulties after discharge. Transitional care is a critical measure to ensure their safe transition across different healthcare settings. This study employs a meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the impact of transitional care interventions on health outcomes in burn patients, providing evidence to support improved continuity of care. Methods: EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science were searched from the establishment of the databases to July 2025. All analysis were conducted using the Revman 5.3. Results: A total of 4 randomized controlled trials were included in our meta-analysis, encompassing 281 burn patients, with 141 receiving transitional care interventions and 140 receiving usual care. The meta-analysis revealed that transitional care could significantly enhance the quality of life among burned patients [MD = 26.82, 95% CI (4.25, 49.39), Conclusion: Transitional care has been shown to effectively improve patients' quality of life and improve emotional well-being. Future studies should integrate both subjective reporting and objective assessment metrics to further validate the independent effects and synergistic interactions of distinct intervention modules within transitional care frameworks.
