ArticleData in brief2025
Survey data on determinants and barriers to the adoption of improved maize seeds among smallholder farmers in the Katangese Copperbelt.
Article in Data in brief, 2025. 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
This dataset describes survey data on the drivers and constraints of adopting improved maize varieties among smallholder farmers in the mining region of Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The household survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire administered to 300 smallholder farmers randomly selected from villages around Lubumbashi and Kipushi, including the agricultural zone of Sambwa. Information collected from maize farmers includes: (1) demographic profile (gender, age, education, household size); (2) socioeconomic and farm characteristics (land tenure, cropland size, farming experience, financial support, off-farm employment, obstacles to using improved seeds, reasons for using improved seeds, and concerns about climate change); (3) farmers' networks (membership in agricultural associations, Village Savings and Loan Associations, sources of information, and seed supply channels); and (4) farmers' willingness to recommend these seeds to peers and barriers they face in accessing them. The raw data and codebook are available on Mendeley Data. The data will be reused in a detailed article to provide a deeper understanding of the factors and challenges associated with the uptake of agricultural innovations among smallholder farmers in the Katangese Copperbelt.
