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
backgroundThe transition from paediatric to adult healthcare is a critical period for young individuals with endocrine conditions. Despite numerous published recommendations, Europe still lacks recent, comprehensive, evidence-based, and practically applicable guidelines for endocrine healthcare transition.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to develop European consensus guidance for transition from paediatric to adult care in endocrine conditions through a structured, evidence-based approach.
methodsA systematic literature review identified 351 recommendations from 55 articles (2011-2023). Articles were included if they provided recommendations on the transition from paediatric to adult care for patients with endocrine diseases or general (non-disease-specific) transition guidance. The guidance was developed by a core multidisciplinary group (n = 7) and refined through focus groups with 18 experts from 10 European countries, representing both paediatric and adult care settings. Patient representatives have reviewed and approved it.
resultsThe guidance includes recommendations across 11 domains: structure of transition service, patient empowerment, patient-professional relationship, multidisciplinary team organisation, healthcare provider education, timing and planning, care coordination, management of non-attendance, psychological support, parent/caregiver role, and readiness tools. Each recommendation was rated as either "recommend" (strong) or "suggest" (conditional) based on expert consensus and available evidence.
conclusionThis ESE-ESPE guidance provides a comprehensive, practical framework for endocrine healthcare transition, applicable across different European healthcare settings. The recommendations emphasise structured programs, care coordination, and patient-centred approaches to optimise transition outcomes.
