Assessing vulnerabilities and resilience strategies for communities facing climate change in Androy, Southern Madagascar.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
The Androy region of southern Madagascar faces compounding challenges of climate change, environmental degradation, and socioeconomic instability. These challenges have forced local communities confronting prolonged droughts, food insecurity, and ecosystem collapse to develop a range of adaptive strategies and resilience mechanisms. Using a cross-sectional mixed-methods design, researchers from the Centre Universitaire Régional Androy (CURA) and New York University's Applied Global Public Health Initiative (AGPHI) conducted 16 focus groups and community surveys across five rural districts to better understand and evaluate these adaptive strategies. The data was analyzed through Dice-Sørensen similarity coefficients. Four distinct adaptation profiles: community-driven reforestation, educational initiatives, reliance on humanitarian aid, and the adoption of drought-resistant crops and short-cycle agriculture. The study highlights the need for integrated, community-centered adaptation strategies that strengthen health systems, expand climate literacy, and promote sustainable agriculture practices. It further provides a scalable framework for addressing climate-induced vulnerabilities in similar semi-arid, resource-constrained contexts.
