1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Agroforestry systems, such as homegardens, provide social-ecological benefits but face increasing pressures from climate change. In this study, we identify drivers of social and ecological resilience to perturbances in homegardens by examining the influence of livelihood assets, ecological diversity, legacy effects and system age. We collected data from around 360 homegardens in Kerala, India, using household surveys, agrobiodiversity plots and remote sensing-derived vegetation data and analysed them by fitting linear and logistic regression models. Social resilience was positively associated with access to credit, homegarden size and past shock exposure, while ecological resilience was positively associated with plant access and negatively linked to homegarden age. Our findings suggest that homegarden resilience may be facilitated by tailored interventions that enhance financial certainty and access to plant resources, as well as preparedness strategies. These insights are crucial for ensuring the resilience of homegarden systems amid increasing environmental and socioeconomic challenges.
