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

backgroundAssessing the level of transition readiness in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is crucial; however, standardized research tools are lacking. This study aimed to map transition readiness assessment tools for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and determine their suitability.

methodsA literature review following the Arksey and O'Malley scoping review methodology was conducted. By using appropriate key terms, literature on transition readiness assessment tool searches were conducted in the CNKI, WanFang, SinoMed, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases, with a reference search. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to January 2024.

resultsA total of 2561 studies were obtained through a preliminary search, and 5 references were obtained as retrospective references. Finally, 21 studies were selected for this review. In total, 20 transition readiness assessment tools were identified. Qualitative findings were grouped into five thematic areas: descriptive characteristics of reviewed articles, development procedures, design, psychometric properties, and cohort characteristics for validity testing of transition readiness assessment tools.

conclusionsThe most appropriate way to assess the transition readiness of adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease is to select an assessment tool that is most suitable for individual needs, accompanied by a comprehensive patient evaluation. Despite some flaws in the methodology, TRM is currently the most suitable assessment tool, and more population studies are needed to validate it.
