Factors affecting Iranian farmers' intention to adopt digital agriculture: an integrated TPB-TAM approach.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Digital agricultural technologies, with their proven potential to enhance productivity, resilience, and resource efficiency, play a key role in achieving food security and sustainable development. However, the adoption of these technologies in developing countries like Iran faces a significant limitation. Focusing on the existing knowledge gap. This study investigates the individual and social determinants of digital technology adoption among Iranian farmers by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Technology Acceptance Model. We apply this framework to targeted research with farmers of Kermanshah Province in western Iran, using survey data (sample n = 384) analyzed through structural equation modeling. Based on the results, the integrated model demonstrated strong explanatory power. Attitude and perceived behavioral control emerged as the strongest predictors of adoption intention, with attitude itself being largely shaped by perceived usefulness and ease of use. Contrary to expectations, subjective norm exerted no significant direct effect on intention, nor was it influenced by perceived usefulness. These findings reveal that the adoption process in this context is driven primarily by individual assessments of utility and feasibility rather than social pressures. This suggests a critical need to adapt classic adoption frameworks when applied to settings with weaker social capital or less cohesive institutional structures. Consequently, extension strategies should pivot from normative campaigns to approaches that emphasize personalized financial incentives, risk mitigation guarantees, and user-centric technology design.
