'You decided I am old enough for the transition, but not old enough to have a say?': Exploring young people's, parents', and healthcare providers' views and experiences of Type 1 Diabetes paediatric to adult healthcare transition in Saudi Arabia.

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
backgroundYoung people with Type 1 diabetes in Saudi Arabia transition from paediatric to adult care at a culturally defined age of 14, which is younger than the average transition age in Western societies. The aim of this study was to elicit the experiences of young people with Type 1 diabetes, their parents, and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia as they transitioned from paediatric to adult care.
methodsIn healthcare, Design Thinking is a human-centred approach that draws on participants' experiences and perspectives to design and develop interventions, models, or services that meet the needs of stakeholders. This study reports the first inspiration phase of the Design Thinking process. Four parallel exploration workshops were held with pre- and post-transition young people with Type 1 diabetes (n = 12), their parents (n = 8), and healthcare providers (n = 7).
findingsSix key themes were identified from the workshops' data analysis. For young people, the key themes were facing the unknown and preparedness; developing autonomy and recognition as an independent person; and interacting with the adult healthcare team. For parents, the themes were navigating the shift in parental role and involvement in care, interacting with healthcare professionals, and changing support needs. For healthcare providers, the key theme was balancing independence and care approaches.
conclusionThe Inspiration phase of the Design Thinking approach provided valuable insights from the healthcare transition experiences of young people with Type 1 diabetes, their parents, and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. The generated insights facilitated the identification of areas for interventions in the process's following phases.
