Risk factors threatening the sustainability of crop farming in South Africa.

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
Agriculture is one of the main pillars of the economy in Southern Africa. According to the World Bank, the poverty rate in South Africa at the national level is 55%. Therefore, commercial farming is essential for economic development and poverty alleviation. However, certain factors pose a threat to the long-term viability of commercial crop farming. The aim of this review was to evaluate risk factors threatening commercial agriculture in South Africa. Several anthropogenic and environmental factors, such as climate change, pesticide contamination, land degradation, pests and diseases, were identified as risk factors threatening the sustainability of commercial crop farming in South Africa. Political factors such as the energy crisis and land reform were also identified as areas of great concern. A shift to regenerative agriculture is needed to ensure the sustainability of commercial agriculture because it is presently unsustainable. Contribution: Agriculture has a crucial role in South Africa's economy, and the threats identified in this study need to be prioritised to help preserve farmers' livelihoods and the overall economy by reducing financial risks, reducing unemployment and maintaining a consistent supply of agricultural exports.
