Exploring the role of group support models for HIV prevention among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): a scoping review.
Review 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
Background: Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) remain disproportionately affected by HIV, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where most AGYW living with HIV reside. Although group-based support interventions have been introduced to improve HIV prevention outcomes, evidence on how these models are structured and their effectiveness for AGYW remains limited. This scoping review mapped and synthesised evidence on group support interventions for HIV prevention among AGYW in SSA, with a focus on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake, adherence, and retention in care. Methods: A scoping review was conducted between September and November 2024 following established methodological guidance. Group support models were defined as structured or semi-structured interventions that bring AGYW together to provide peer support, HIV and sexual and reproductive health education, psychosocial support, and skills-building to improve HIV prevention outcomes. Peer-reviewed qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies were searched across four databases using keywords. Grey literature was excluded. Data were charted and analysed thematically to map and synthesize evidence on group support interventions. Results: The initial search yielded 1,901 results after 62 duplicates were removed. 40 papers were eligible. Following title/abstract and full-text screening, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Full-text articles were excluded because they did not meet the target population criteria (
