Understanding How Multisectoral Programs and Policies Across Systems Can Be Leveraged to Improve Maternal, Infant, and Child Nutrition in Guinea.
Review in The International journal of health planning and management, 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
objectiveTo understand how current programmes and policies can be leveraged to improve maternal, infant, and young child nutrition outcomes (MIYCN) in Guinea. DATA COLLECTION
methodsStudy design. This study is part of a larger multiphase mixed methods study design. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: A systems framework developed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and an implementation science framework were used to guide this research. Phase 1. An in-depth literature review of current programme and policy documents (2019-2022) targeting MIYCN through the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), health, food, and social protection systems in Guinea was conducted. Phase 2. Semi-structured interviews with stakeholders (n = 20) from each system were completed to explore stakeholders' knowledge related to pertinent programs and policies. Phase 3. Validation of findings was conducted using member checking. DATA ANALYSIS
methodsGrey literature documents and interview findings were analysed using content analysis guided by the systems framework and implementation science framework, respectively.
resultsPolicy documents across systems were all multisectoral and more than half (27/32) of evidence-based programme modalities across systems were included in policies. Most (28/32) evidence-based programme modalities were also being implemented in Guinea. Stakeholder interview findings revealed that programme implementation was the most salient barrier to operationalising evidence-based programme modalities.
conclusionFindings from our study indicate that policy and programme frameworks are strong but improved financial planning and vertical and horizontal programme planning may create a stronger enabling environment to support MIYCN in Guinea.
