1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Rice is a vital staple crop, feeding billions globally. However, conventional rice farming practices, especially traditional irrigation techniques, are significant contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Flooded irrigation, in particular, creates anaerobic conditions that facilitate methane production-a GHG significantly more potent in terms of global warming potential compared to carbon dioxide. As a result, rice cultivation is a key driver of climate change (CC). Addressing these environmental challenges while maintaining sustainable productivity requires the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices. This study explores the factors influencing the adaptation and mitigation behaviors of Iranian rice farmers in response to CC. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) theory as theoretical frameworks, the research examines psychological and normative drivers that shape farmers' decision-making. This research was carried out in Shushtar County, located in Iran's Khuzestan Province in the southwest. The study utilized a structured survey tool, and the collected responses were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that TPB more effectively explains adaptation intentions, while VBN provides greater insight into mitigation behaviors. The integrated TPB-VBN model accounts for 64.2% of the variance in adaptation intentions and 67.6% in mitigation intentions. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to foster sustainable rice farming practices that align with CC adaptation and mitigation objectives.
