Effects of an agricultural intervention on psychosocial health among pregnant and nonpregnant women with HIV in Kenya.
Trial report in AIDS (London, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02815579 (Agricultural Intervention for Food Security and HIV Health Outcomes in Kenya), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
objectivesWe examined whether effects of an agricultural livelihood intervention on food insecurity and psychosocial outcomes remained robust in pregnant compared to nonpregnant women living with HIV, and whether potentially negative associations between pregnancy and these outcomes were alleviated by the intervention.
designSecondary analysis of the Shamba Maisha cluster-randomized controlled trial ( N = 396 women; NCT02815579). The intervention included agribusiness training and supplies.
methodsFood insecure women with HIV in Kenya were followed for 24 months between 2016 and 2019. Food insecurity, empowerment, social support, depression, HIV stigma, and intimate partner violence were collected at all visits. We estimated the effect of the intervention on trends for each outcome via mixed-effects regression, separately for women who did and did not become pregnant during follow-up, and whether trends differed by pregnancy status, separately by arm and adjusted for demographic factors.
resultsIn comparison to controls, the intervention was associated with a greater decline in food insecurity among women who became pregnant (3.35 points, 95% confidence interval (CI): -5.63, -1.06) and who did not become pregnant (3.43 points, 95% CI: -4.34, -2.52). Effects on psychosocial outcomes were also comparable in pregnant and nonpregnant women. Having an incident pregnancy was associated with disempowerment among controls (difference in trend -0.22, 95% CI -0.44, -0.00) but not in the intervention arm.
conclusionsWe observed comparable benefits of an agricultural livelihood intervention on food security and psychosocial outcomes regardless of pregnancy status. Agricultural livelihood interventions may hold promise for improving pregnancy outcomes through improved maternal food security.
