Inside Zambia's 'new normal:' COVID-19 policy responses and implications for peri-urban food security and livelihoods.
Article in Journal of international development, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
This paper explores COVID-19 policy responses and experiences of their impact on food systems and livelihoods, and other factors shaping vulnerability among peri-urban small-scale farmers in Zambia. We draw on household surveys and case studies, multi-level interviews and group discussions to make sense of 'new normal' policy (in)action and its (in) effectiveness in shaping peri-urban production, market linkages and livelihoods during the pandemic. Results show COVID-19 policy responses affected peri-urban production supply and demand for food and inputs. The 'new normal' policy responses aimed at striking a balance between health concerns and economic development as a pathway to recovery have not been followed by systematic peri-urban agriculture support, leading to failure to stimulate production and drive urban market linkages, including supermarkets. Findings bring nuance to fragilities in national food systems and the need for long-term and transformative interventions that can strengthen peri-urban agriculture and livelihoods beyond the pandemic.
