Reframing preventive health communication: from individual compliance to collective action.
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
Behaviour change in public health is a complex process that requires a comprehensive, contextually grounded social and behaviour change (SBC) approach, supported by effective health promotion platforms that move beyond individual-centric models towards collective social action. This paper presents learnings from the large-scale JEEViKA Technical Support Programme implemented in Bihar, which leverages women's collectives as a health promotion platform and delivers context-specific messages based on an in-depth understanding of community barriers. The study adopts the case study method and reviews programme documents, research papers, monitoring and evaluation data and observational and experiential learnings, to analyse and document the learnings. Findings indicate that a Socio-Ecological Model-based SBC strategy implemented through women's collectives significantly improved health and nutrition outcomes. Three key insights emerge: first, contextually grounded messages aligned with community practices are more readily adopted, whereas linear, didactic IEC approaches often remain limited to awareness generation; second, women's collectives function as powerful platforms for social transformation; and third, linking communities with entitlements reinforces behaviour change. The study concludes that this integrated, multi-touchpoint approach offers a scalable model for addressing broader public health challenges, particularly non-communicable diseases.
