1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Farmers manage almost 5 billion hectares of land globally, deliver food security and underpin cultural and economic life in rural areas. Farming policies typically prioritise stability and incremental change to mitigate risk. Yet scientific evidence points to a need for transformative change across the land sector to effectively tackle the climate and biodiversity crises. Meanwhile, climate and geopolitical volatility underscore the need for resilient farm systems. Reconciling multifaceted objectives within long-term strategic policymaking for farming and land use is a major challenge, requiring multi-dimensional evidence. Using Ireland's land sector as an example, we employ strategic foresight combined with quantitative back-casting to explore alternative climate-neutral farming pathways under different future contexts. Bioeconomy and protein diversification pathways score better across sustainability, resilience and risk indicators compared with business as usual (BAU) under uncertain futures represented by shared socioeconomic pathways. These findings help to situate the important, tangible risks associated with climate-neutral transitions against multifaceted risks facing farming stakeholders under BAU.
