Adolescent Girls' Agency in an Integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health and Economic Empowerment Intervention Pilot.
Article in Journal of adolescence, 2025. 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
introductionAdolescence is a time of unique vulnerability for many girls, however, when supported to strengthen their capabilities, resources, and agency, adolescents can thrive even in adverse situations. This study sought to evaluate agency outcomes (decision-making power, mobility, and self-efficacy) among girls aged 15-19 participating in integrated sexual and reproductive health and economic empowerment interventions in Ethiopia and Nigeria.
methodsThe study was a quasi-experimental prospective cohort design involving two questionnaires at baseline and endline, 9 months apart, administered to intervention and comparison groups. Program effect was assessed using a difference-in-differences approach, modeling using linear generalized estimating equations accounting for repeated observations at the individual level and adjusted for age, marital status, education, and parity.
resultsThe evaluation demonstrated significant positive program effects on one agency outcome each among married girls in Ethiopia (self-efficacy) and northern Nigeria (decision-making power). In southern Nigeria significant positive program effects were demonstrated among unmarried girls across all agency outcomes: decision-making power, mobility, and self-efficacy.
conclusionsThe evaluation showed promising increases in agency for girls who participated in this integrated intervention. The positive program effects seen during this relatively short pilot suggest that agency-related gains can be made even in programs with limited implementation time.
