Leveraging global tools for adolescent and youth health planning and programming: process and lessons learnt from Madagascar.
Review in Global health action, 2026. 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
Madagascar, with a significant proportion of its population aged 10-24 years, has developed a comprehensive National Strategic Plan for Adolescent and Youth Health (2025-2030) to improve adolescent and youth health and well-being. This process applied the second edition of Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!) guidance and the Global Action for Measurement of Adolescent Health (GAMA)-recommended indicators to ensure an evidence-based approach. Moving beyond the traditional focus on sexual and reproductive health, the strategy adopted a multi-sectoral approach that involved government ministries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and youth associations, among other stakeholders. Key steps included stakeholder engagement, establishing a steering committee, mapping and analyzing data for GAMA-recommended indicators, assessing health needs, reviewing policies, and setting priorities through participatory, data-driven methods. Findings revealed major challenges, including high rates of adolescent fertility and early marriage, thinness among adolescent girls, and substance abuse. Integrating GAMA-recommended indicators with adolescent perspectives provided a holistic view of health needs, enabling the development of an inclusive strategic plan. Lessons learned highlight the importance of robust data use, multi-sectoral collaboration, and active youth involvement in planning and programming. Madagascar's experience demonstrated that applying AA-HA! guidance and GAMA-recommended indicators is essential for a comprehensive approach to adolescent and youth health planning and programming. This process identified real needs and informed evidence-based strategies, reinforcing the value of inclusive, data-driven planning for improving health outcomes among adolescents and youth.
