1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionVenezuela's geopolitical and economic crisis has forced many Venezuelans, including adolescent girls, to migrate.

objectiveTo examine: (1) what prompted adolescent girls' decision to migrate and how future aspirations influenced that decision; and (2) how the migration experience impacted aspirations. The overall goal is to identify the unique needs of displaced Venezuelan adolescent girls to adapt programs and services to better support them in achieving their aspirations.

methodsMigration experiences were collected in Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil in January to April of 2022 as part of the parent study. We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of micronarratives from adolescent girls using an inductive approach.

resultsFrom the 188 micronarratives, themes of agency and aspirations for a better future were prominent, along with pregnancy being a motivator to migrate. Participants articulated their fears and how they navigated those, the lack of accessible resources, as well as what made them feel supported, like feeling welcomed and loved by those in the community.

conclusionsAlthough adolescent girls demonstrated resourcefulness and resilience, specific programs, and services to meet their unique needs are still necessary. Displaced girls are often vulnerable to barriers in accessing goods and services during the migration route and in their host community. Venezuelan adolescent girls need to be key stakeholders in interventions to develop effective programs that support them in every step of their migration journey.
