Indicators of Healthcare Transition Progress Among College Youth With Type 1 Diabetes.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveAdolescents with chronic diseases must navigate changing healthcare needs in college and beyond. This study examined the ability of college youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to achieve transition milestones and ascertained sociodemographic predictors of a successful healthcare transition (HCT).
methodsCollege youth with T1D were recruited via social media and direct outreach to participate in a web-based study, during which they answered questions about the HCT process. Descriptive statistics and multivariable regression were used to evaluate HCT measures as a function of sociodemographic variables.
resultsNearly two-thirds of participants (N = 138) had discussions with their providers about changing healthcare needs (65.9%) and transferring care to adult physicians (64.5%); less than one-third (27.9%) discussed obtaining health insurance as an adult. Females were more likely than males to discuss transitioning to adult providers (70.3% vs 40.7%, P < .01). Those covered on a parent's insurance (vs other) plan were more likely to receive help with finding adult providers (79.3% vs 44.4%, P = .04) but less likely to discuss how to obtain health insurance (25.0% vs 61.1%, P < .01). These differences persisted after adjustment.
conclusionsImprovement is needed with regard to college youth with T1D becoming autonomous managers of their own care. Gaps were found in their experiences of discussing changing healthcare needs, locating adult providers, and obtaining health insurance-especially among those who were younger, male, and not covered under parental insurance. Efforts to improve the HCT process should focus particularly on these subgroups to advance healthcare delivery in this population.
