Using transition design to explore transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Article in Health care transitions, 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: Most existing research concerning the transition from adolescence to adulthood is narrowly focused on the healthcare setting; few studies have investigated this process holistically while including the viewpoints of young adults and their caregivers. We explored the transition from adolescence to adulthood from the perspectives of multiple constituent groups with a vested interest and expertise in this process. Methods: We utilized Transition Design, a novel, qualitative methodology. We asked participants to engage in six visual mind-mapping exercises to identify problems associated with the transition to adulthood, and then solve these problems by creating a more sustainable and equitable future model. We collected data from these exercises using the virtual whiteboard platform Miro and applied thematic analysis to code for key themes. Results: A total of 25 participants completed the exercises (7 young adults, 5 young adult caregivers, 4 social services providers, 9 healthcare providers). Overall, all participants focused on mental health and increasing access to resources. However, each constituent group prioritized a different aspect and level of society in their responses; young adults emphasized large-scale societal themes and structural changes, social services providers emphasized improving access to community resources, caregivers emphasized the role of advocacy, and healthcare providers emphasized the health sector. Discussion: Results highlight the complexity of transition across broad societal domains and the unique perspectives of constituent groups. These results can help to inform future research in this area while improving transition from adolescence to adulthood, both within and outside of the healthcare setting.
