Climate change, natural resource conflicts and insecurity in Nigeria: implication for food security.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 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
Introduction: Climate change and rising insecurity have intensified natural resource conflicts in Nigeria, posing serious threats to agricultural productivity and household food security. This study examines the climate-conflict-food security nexus, focusing on how environmental changes contribute to conflicts and how these dynamics affect economic performance and food security outcomes. Methods: The study utilized data from the 2018/2019 General Household Survey (LSMS-ISA) and the 2022 National Agricultural Sample Census (NASC), capturing both household- and community-level information. Descriptive statistics were employed to assess patterns of climate shocks and conflicts, while econometric techniques-including Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Ordered Logit, and Ordered Probit models-were used to analyze the drivers of food security. Results: Findings reveal that climate-related shocks and insecurity significantly increase resource-based conflicts and have strong negative effects on food security. Among the various shocks, flooding emerged as the most damaging disaster. In contrast, asset ownership was found to enhance household resilience and mitigate adverse effects. Discussion: The results highlight the need for integrated policy responses that address both environmental and security challenges. Policies promoting climate adaptation, improved natural resource governance, and conflict-sensitive interventions are essential to strengthen food security and resilience in Nigeria.
