Strengthening integrated sexual reproductive health and rights and HIV services programs to achieve sustainable development goals 3 and 5 in Africa.
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 4 papers.
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
Each year, over 200 million women globally cannot prevent pregnancy through modern contraceptive methods, with 70-80% of these women residing in sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, almost 50% of pregnancies are unintended and 35 million unsafe abortions occur annually in the region. Further, sub-Saharan Africa has the highest burden globally of Human Immune-Deficiency Virus (HIV) infection, and over 57% of those affected are women. Women with a positive HIV status in sub-Saharan Africa experience higher rates of unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion practices. In this commentary, we propose strategies to strengthen integrated sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and HIV services programs to improve the sexual and reproductive health of girls and women and to work towards achieving SDGs 3 and 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. We suggest a focus on capacity building, strengthening intersectoral collaborations, and improving governance and financial investment.
