Use of climate smart agriculture technologies in West Africa peri-urban Sahel in Niger.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Climate change affects peri-urban agricultural systems. However, most studies on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) often focused on climate-smart villages in the Sahel region. This study investigated peri-urban farming systems in West African Sahel cities. Globally, agricultural productivity improvement requires applying technologies and resource access, particularly in dry-season farming. The achievements of Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 8, 12 and 13 in developing countries rely on utilising Climate-Smart Agriculture Technologies (CSAT) to address climate change, youth unemployment and food insecurity. The study employed a mixed-method research design, employing field and household surveys of 142 peri-urban smallholder farmers, key informants and desktop-based research in collecting data. The results showed that biopesticides/crop and pest management are the most used CSAT in dry-season farming (p = .002). These technologies eradicate pests and disease outbreaks of crops, vegetables and farm animals. The other technologies included fertilizer micro-dose, organic manure and compost application, flood-tolerant improved varieties, irrigation based on green energy, tele-irrigation, early maturing varieties and planting pits. These technologies were ranked 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th respectively, using mean weighted values. The study underpins local climate change trends and assessment, together with the availability, opportunities and implicit implications of scaling up CSAT. The study also recommends including peri-urban agriculture in climate and land use planning policy, programmes and projects in Niamey city.
