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.

Abstract

backgroundCommunity violence has been found to be highly prevalent in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Increasing socioeconomic inequality has been outlined as one of the main causes of community violence. This controlled pilot trial aimed at evaluating the impact of beekeeping and entrepreneurship training on community violence exposure, financial and social capital generation, and employment structure.

methodsPoisson regression was used to compare pre- and post-intervention risk ratios for community violence exposure. Linear regression was used to depict change in weekly income and utu scores. Employment rate structures were determined pre- and post-intervention.

resultsThis study reports that compared to the Control arm beekeeping and entrepreneurship training appears to have protected young men in Dar es Salaam from exposure to community violence (All = 0.62 (0.40-0.96), Beekeeping = 0.57 (0.30-1.08), Entrepreneurship = 0.62 (0.33-1.17)), while increasing financial (All = 23,145 (- 27,155 - 73,444), Beekeeping = 29,310 (- 26,079 - 84,698), Entrepreneurship = 82,334 (12,274 - 152,293)) and partially also social capital (All = - 0.24 (- 1.35-0.87), Beekeeping = 0.85 (- 0.26-1.96), Entrepreneurship = 0.30 (- 1.16-1.77)). Financial dependency across all arms was reduced from 29.1 to 2.2%.

conclusionsOur study reports that beekeeping training and entrepreneurship seminars appear to have a protective effect against exposure to community violence among young men in Dar es Salaam, while partially also increasing financial and social capital, as well as reducing financial dependency. We recommend that these results should lay the foundation for an adequately powered randomized trial to confirm the study's efficacy.
