Inclusive seed systems for better nutrition and sustainable food systems in Mali.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Women are central to agricultural production in Mali, yet systemic barriers limit their participation in inclusive seed systems and resilient food systems. In seed systems, restricted access to high-quality seeds, financial constraints, and limited technical training hinder women's engagement in formal seed production and distribution. Within food systems, weak market integration, inadequate mechanization, and insufficient processing infrastructure constrain their ability to transform biofortified crops into value-added food products. Addressing these challenges requires a holistic, gender-responsive approach that strengthens women's roles across the seed-to-nutrition pathway. This perspective article synthesizes insights from two key initiatives: The Networking for Seed Project-Phase II, which enhances community seed systems by promoting women's participation in seed production and dissemination, and a pilot initiative by the World Food Program, which facilitates the processing, commercialization, and market integration of biofortified crops. These initiatives highlight the importance of linking seed systems with food processing and market access to create economic opportunities for women while improving household and community nutrition. By enhancing financial inclusion, utilizing technological tools, and strengthening institutional support, these approaches help women shift from being passive recipients of agricultural inputs to becoming active and empowered entrepreneurs. Integrating women more effectively into both seed and food systems contributes to more sustainable and equitable agricultural value chains, strengthening food security, nutrition outcomes, and climate resilience in Mali.
