Adolescent pregnancy in the time of COVID-19: what are the implications for sexual and reproductive health and rights globally?
Article in Reproductive health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has aggravated pre-existing challenges associated with adolescents' sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Evolving evidence suggest that it could adversely impact the progress made towards improving sexual and reproductive health outcomes among young people. The pandemic has stalled achievements in reducing adolescent pregnancy and child marriage by reinforcing contextual and structural determinants of these reproductive health outcomes, especially among girls. The pandemic has increased disruptions to schooling, decreased access to sexual and reproductive health services and compounded pre-existing socio-economic vulnerabilities. The consequences of neglecting adolescent sexual and reproductive health services over the past 2 years, to focus on COVID-19, continue to emerge. This commentary argues for targeted and responsive approaches to adolescent SRHR that tackle preventable consequences resulting from inequities faced by adolescents globally, particularly girls.
