A cross-sectional survey of Saudi gastroenterologists: Transition strategies for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease.
Article in Saudi journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Saudi Gastroenterology Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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/
aimsThe transition of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from pediatric to adult care requires a well-structured standardized protocol to ensure the delivery of optimal healthcare and decrease the risk of nonadherence, hospitalizations, and complications. The aims of this survey are to evaluate current IBD transition practices adopted by gastroenterology services across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and to identify the major challenges standing in the way of implementing effective transition strategies from the perspectives of pediatric and adult gastroenterologists. PATIENTS AND
methodsAn online survey was distributed to KSA pediatric and adult gastroenterologists through the Kingdom's national gastroenterology association. The questionnaire included closed-ended questions regarding existing institutional transition strategies and perspectives regarding the impact of different factors on their ability to effectively transition adolescents from pediatric to adult care.
resultsA total of 80 adult and pediatric gastroenterologists responded to the survey invitation. Most of the participating gastroenterologists worked at a tertiary care center (82.5%). The majority of gastroenterologist (73.8%) reported that they do not follow a defined protocol for transitioning in their current practices. However, a structured transition program was noted to be "very important" by 78.8% of gastroenterologists. The most favored method of transitioning was joint outpatient clinic attended by patient, caregiver, pediatric gastroenterologist, and adult gastroenterologist (35.9%) and the most commonly reported barrier to transitioning was "lack of proper preparation" for transitioning (53.2%).
conclusionsAlthough acknowledged by the majority of participants as being "very important," no standardized IBD transition protocol is followed in the majority of practices across KSA. A well-structured national protocol for transitioning adolescents with IBD is needed.
