15 Years of the National Policy for Comprehensive Men's Health Care in Brazil: Perception of Strengths and Opportunities.
Article in American journal of men's health. 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
This study aims to evaluate the strengths, opportunities, and facilitators in the implementation of the National Policy for Comprehensive Men's Health Care (PNAISH) in Brazil in response to user demands. A mixed-method approach was applied to residents across Brazil between April and July 2024 through a web survey using a semi-structured questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics, engagement, and critiques of the PNAISH. The qualitative analysis employed the Collective Subject Discourse method. A total of 144 individuals participated, primarily young cisgender men, with 80.5% holding postgraduate degrees and 75.7% engaged in male health initiatives. Progress has been observed in the implementation of the PNAISH, particularly in primary care, yet challenges persist regarding policy dissemination and managerial involvement. Most respondents (77.8%) recognized strengths and facilitators in PNAISH, with 43.8% reporting its implementation at both state and municipal levels. Qualitative narratives revealed that participants perceive PNAISH as a strategic opportunity not only to engage men in preventive care but also to foster reflection on masculinities, self-care, and health promotion. Many highlighted that the policy helps to overcome cultural stigmas that traditionally distance men from health services, especially through educational actions and intersectoral strategies. While the policy has advanced access and male participation in health services, structural barriers and limited visibility still constrain its broader impact and effective engagement.
