Insights for inclusive upstream engagement with migrant farmworkers in agriculture: A case study from the US-Mexico border.
Article in Ambio, 2026. 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
Amid climate change, plant biotechnologies are being developed to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural systems. However, their social and ethical implications remain underexplored through upstream engagement, which refers to the early engagement and involvement of stakeholders to shape research decisions. Using a case study from the U.S.-Mexico border, we reflect on the challenges and opportunities from conducting upstream engagement with migrant farmworkers. Tensions in language translation, issue framing, literacy, and tacit knowledge are particularly amplified when engaging with these kinds of communities, potentially shaping how participants interpret scientific information and express their views. Most participants reported concern that using gene editing on plants could increase social inequality, reinforcing the ethical imperative to engage overlooked stakeholders in agricultural research. We suggest that upstream engagement must be carefully designed to fit the lived realities of marginalized stakeholders to ensure their perspectives can meaningfully inform innovation.
