The use of implementation science frameworks to promote maternal and child health delivery programs in Nigeria.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
Maternal and Child Health (MCH) remains a significant public health concern in Nigeria, with high maternal and child mortality rates. Although effective, evidence-based interventions exist, their impact is often constrained by implementation gaps driven by weak health systems, limited resources, and sociocultural factors. This perspective article highlights the untapped potential of implementation science (IS) frameworks to improve the planning, implementation, and evaluation of MCH programs in Nigeria. This study examines four key implementation science frameworks: the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), RE-AIM, Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (PARiHS), and the Diffusion of Innovations and explores their relevance to Nigeria's MCH system using case examples. Key challenges include limited IS capacity, weak health system structures, and sociocultural barriers. However, opportunities exist in digital health innovations, workforce development, and multi-sectoral collaboration. Integrating implementation science into national MCH strategies could enhance their effectiveness and accelerate progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3.
