Determinants of Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Protocol for an Umbrella Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAdolescents are a large proportion of the population in sub-Saharan Africa and face multiple risks to their health and well-being. Prior systematic reviews have focused on specific adolescent sexual and reproductive health outcomes such as teen pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, and sexually transmitted diseases. A comprehensive synthesis of the influential factors that shape different aspects of adolescent sexual and reproductive health can inform health policy and program development for this important segment of the population.
objectiveThis paper presents the protocol for an umbrella review that aims to synthesize the existing knowledge in the literature on the associations among individual, family, and societal factors and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa.
methodsWe will include systematic reviews that identify factors associated with sexual and reproductive health outcomes among adolescents, 10-19 years of age, in sub-Saharan Africa. Reviews can include quantitative and qualitative primary studies with or without meta-analysis. Academic and gray literature searches will identify reviews from PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ProQuest, Google, and Google Scholar. Two reviewers (MZG and KO) will independently carry out title, abstract, and full text screening, assess methodological quality, and extract data. We will assess the methodological quality of the included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute standard forms. The review will present findings in narrative form and in tables and will follow PRISMA (the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) reporting guidelines.
resultsA preliminary search in April 2023 found 1351 articles to be screened.
conclusionsThis umbrella review will permit a comprehensive and high-level understanding of the various factors that influence adolescent sexual and reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa.
