African Crop Calendar: A geo-referenced dataset of crop growing seasons across diverse agro-ecological regions.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Large-scale agricultural household surveys provide essential data on farming households' socioeconomics, land management, and agricultural indicators, and allow detailed micro-scale comparisons while ensuring national representativeness. This study introduces cleaned, harmonised, and validated survey data describing the growing season of several hundred crops from six African countries between 2009-2019. It complements existing datasets by including geographical identifiers, facilitating the linkage with climate, soil, or Earth observation data. Collected through the LSMS-ISA program, the surveys cover crop planting and harvesting dates, anonymized field locations, and crop species grown. The data were harmonised by assigning consistent variable names, correcting inconsistencies, standardising crop names, and creating unique plot identifiers. This comprehensive dataset offers novel insights into African cropping systems and growing seasons and provides a basis for assessing drivers of shifts in growing seasons.
