Traits preferences heterogeneity and biofortified cassava varietal adoption among farming households in Southwest, Nigeria.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Promoting improved crop varietal adoption will prevent a waste of scarce resources deployed to breeding programs for sustained agricultural development in Nigeria. Using household-level survey data, this study aimed to identify farmers' trait preferences and their influence on the adoption of cassava varieties in Southwest, Nigeria. Specifically, it profiled the preferences based on the perspectives of the cassava farming households and determined the factors that influenced the rate and intensity of adoption. The results are in two folds: First, for reasons bordering on the realization of cassava farming households' sustenance and economic goals, early maturing and bigger root size were given preferences among others. Second, education of household head, farm size, extension contacts, and market-related traits were the major drivers of adoption and intensity of adoption of biofortified cassava varieties. Thus, poor market demand was key to the low adoption of biofortified cassava varieties. We suggest that crop development efforts should be tailored to address farmers' concerns. This will undoubtedly increase the adoption rate and also lower the advocacy cost.
