Assessing the status and challenges of vulnerability to viability transitions: small-scale fisheries in the transboundary Sundarbans mangrove forest.
Article in npj ocean sustainability, 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
Small-scale fisheries around the world are confronted with multidimensional vulnerabilities related to social, natural, economic, institutional and political aspects. The issues around vulnerability are even more intense when it comes to transboundary fisheries systems. This study assesses the vulnerabilities of small-scale fisheries and the challenges in facilitating their transitions to viability in the transboundary Sundarbans mangrove forest shared between India and Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal. Data were collected using household surveys, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The results reveal that small-scale fisheries face diverse vulnerabilities sourced from social (e.g., reduced income and increased social injustices), natural (e.g., decreased fish stock) and governance systems (e.g., increased restrictions and limited access) of the forest. Several factors, for example, a lack of common governing action and mismatches of governance goals and implementation, cause barriers to transitions toward viability. The study suggests that increased participation of relevant stakeholders and their voices is crucial to make comprehensive governing actions from both sides of the forest and to facilitate the viability transitions.
