Smallholder farmers' participation in small-scale irrigation system: Insight from Lume district, Ethiopia.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Irrigation systems play a crucial role in ensuring food security and mitigating the impacts of drought and water scarcity. Numerous farmers do not possess the technical expertise required for efficient irrigation management. Therefore, this study examined the determinants that affect participation in small-scale irrigation in the Lume District of Ethiopia. Random sampling techniques were used to select four kebeles from a total of thirteen kebeles that have access to small-scale irrigation in the district. Data was gathered from a sample of 176 randomly selected farm households. The households in these kebeles were divided into two groups: the irrigation users and non-users. The overall sample consisted of 121 irrigation users and 55 non-users, accounting for 68.75 % and 31.25 % of the total sample, respectively. A binary logistic regression model was utilized to pinpoint the factors influencing participation in these irrigation systems. The results revealed that key factors such as the age of the household head, the family size of the household head, land ownership, proximity to irrigation sources, and access to credit significantly influence engagement in small-scale irrigation. The study suggests that policymakers and stakeholders should enhance credit accessibility and improve the distance to irrigation sites to encourage more significant participation in small-scale irrigation systems.
