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: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face challenges transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare, where they assume greater responsibility for their care. The Transition Adolescent & Young Adults implementioN (IBD-TrAYN) intervention is part of a multisite hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial launched in 2022 to address gaps in transition care. Online educational modules were developed to enhance disease knowledge and self-management skills among AYAs. Aim: To explore adult gastroenterologists' perspectives on transition-related education and curriculum developed as part of the IBD-TrAYN intervention. Methods: Adult gastroenterologists across Canada with experience treating AYAs with IBD were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Three virtual focus groups were conducted with 11 gastroenterologists to explore perspectives on the curriculum. Transcripts were analyzed by 2 independent reviewers using content analysis. Results: Participants identified the IBD-TrAYN curriculum as a valuable tool for addressing common educational barriers in AYA care. These included provider- and system-level barriers, such as limited clinical time and allied health support, and differences in patient readiness. Priority content included disease knowledge, self-management skills, mental health, and sexual health. Caregiver education was highlighted as an important part of transition care. Suggested improvements included consolidating content, increasing interactivity, and ensuring flexible, self-paced access to support individualized engagement. Conclusion: Adult gastroenterologists endorsed the value of the IBD-TrAYN curriculum in bridging educational gaps during transition to adult care. Incorporating these insights, particularly prioritizing key topics and enhancing interactivity, may strengthen future iterations and promote effective, patient-centred transition care for AYAs with IBD.
