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.

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
The unsustainable and intensive use of land resources driven by growing populations has accelerated land degradation and reduced agricultural productivity in developing countries, particularly in Ethiopia. Agroforestry practices (AFPs) have the potential to mitigate these challenges, yet their adoption by smallholder farmers remains limited. This study aimed to assess farmer perceptions, identify existing and adopted AFPs, and analyze the socio-economic factors influencing AFPs adoption in the Legambo district of northcentral Ethiopia. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires for household heads (HHs) and semi-structured questionnaires for key informant (KI) interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression model for quantitative analysis, while qualitative data from KIs, FGDs were qualitatively narrated. The results revealed that while farmers had positive perceptions of AFPs, adoption rates varied across practices. Scattered trees on cropland, home gardens, and boundary plantations were the most widely adopted, while alley cropping had the lowest adoption. Socio-economic factors such as gender and livestock ownership significantly promoted AFP adoption (p < 0.05), while smaller land sizes, higher education levels, and young age groups posed challenges. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to address barriers to adoption, focusing on enhancing access to resources and knowledge for smallholder farmers. Policymakers and development agents should prioritize tailored support for vulnerable groups to expand AFP adoption, contributing to sustainable land management and agricultural resilience.
