Collaborations between local health authorities and community leaders in responding to health emergencies in low- and-middle-income countries: a scoping review protocol.
Article in Systematic reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEffective collaboration between local health authorities and community leaders is critical for timely and inclusive responses to health emergencies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, evidence on how these partnerships function, their effectiveness, and associated challenges remains scattered. This scoping review aims to map existing research on such collaborations to identify strategies, best practices, and gaps.
methodsThis scoping review will be conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. A systematic search of electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and relevant grey literature sources, will be performed, covering publications from inception to 2025 without restrictions on language or publication date. The inclusion criteria will focus on studies that explore collaboration strategies, their effectiveness, challenges, and outcomes in the context of health emergencies in LMICs. Two independent reviewers will screen studies, and extract data, with any discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. The findings will be synthesised narratively, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews guideline. DISCUSSION: This scoping review will offer a comprehensive overview of the current literature on collaborations between local health authorities and community leaders during health emergencies in LMICs. The review will identify effective strategies, common challenges, and successful practices, as well as highlight areas where further research is needed. The insights gained from this review will inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers aiming to strengthen community-based responses to health emergencies. The findings will be disseminated through publication in a peer-reviewed journal, presentations at relevant conferences, and discussions with key stakeholders to support improved collaborations and response strategies in LMICs.
