Factors associated with adolescent pregnancy and public health interventions to address in Nigeria: a scoping review.
Article in Reproductive health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundAdolescent pregnancy is a global public health and social problem that affects both developed and developing countries. Reducing adolescent pregnancy is central to achieving sustainable development goals. In 2021 Nigeria's Adolescent pregnancy was 106 per 1000 and showed an increasing rate. This study, therefore, aims to explore the literature to map the risk factors and interventions against adolescent pregnancy in Nigeria.
methodA scoping review of studies published between January 2007 and December 2022 using PubMed, Web of Science and Africa Journals Online were searched using the keywords' adolescent pregnancy' AND 'Nigeria'. Studies were screened using the eligibility criteria.
resultsA total of 241 articles, of which 229 were identified through the databases and 12 were identified through hand search. After the full-text review, 28 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final review. In Nigeria, the prevalence of adolescent pregnancy is between 7.5 and 49.5%. Associated factors for adolescent pregnancy in Nigeria are multifactorial, including individual, community, societal, school, family, and peer factors. Policies on adolescent sexual and reproductive health exist in Nigeria. Still, the policies need more sponsorship, implementation, and monitoring, while only some interventions on adolescent pregnancy majorly based on contraceptives and education of health providers are available in Nigeria.
conclusionAssociated factors for adolescent Pregnancy in Nigeria are multidimensional, with educational attainment and wealth index being the highest associated factor. Intervention strategies aimed at the educational level have been identified as a critical factor in curbing adolescent pregnancy. Thus, policies on sexual, reproductive, and mental health development specifically targeting adolescents to reduce the cycle of societal dependence by empowering this group economically and educationally are justifiably warranted.
