The Mashujaa Network: youth-driven resilience for reproductive health and safe abortion in conflict-affected communities.
Article in Frontiers in reproductive 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
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and rights are fundamental to individual well-being and development. Yet, significant global gaps in access to SRH information and services threaten the lives and health of millions of individuals and their families. Protecting the health of vulnerable populations in conflict zones is a critical public health priority. There is a significant lack of evidence on effective approaches to delivering comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) interventions in these settings. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where unsafe abortion is a leading cause of maternal mortality, the Mashujaa Youth Referral Network was developed as an innovative, youth-led model to bridge this gap. By training young individuals as Mashujaa Champions, the network provides a trusted, community-based pathway for advocacy, peer education, and direct referral to safe abortion and other essential SRH services. This participatory approach demonstrates the profound potential of locally led initiatives to not only expand access to life-saving care and reduce stigma, but also to empower young people to become agents of change. Scaling this proven framework offers a sustainable solution for strengthening SRH resilience and reducing preventable maternal deaths in humanitarian contexts.
