Molecular approaches for improving oil palm for oil.
Review in Molecular breeding : new strategies in plant improvement, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The oil palm, originating from Africa, is the most productive oil crop species. Palm oil is an important source of edible oil. Its current global plantation area is over 23 million ha. The theoretical oil yield potential of the oil palm is 18.2 tons/ha/year. However, current average oil yield is only 3.8 tons/ha/year. In the past 100 years, conventional breeding and improvement of field management played important roles in increasing oil yield. However, conventional breeding for trait improvement was limited by its very long (10-20 years) phenotypic selection cycle, although it improved oil yield by ~10-20% per generation. Molecular breeding using novel molecular technologies will accelerate genetic improvement and may reduce the need to deforest and to use arable land for expanding oil palm plantations, which in turn makes palm oil more sustainable. Here, we comprehensively synthesize information from relevant literature of the technologies, achievements, and challenges of molecular approaches, including tissue culture, haploid breeding, mutation breeding, marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic selection (GS), and genome editing (GE). We propose the characteristics of ideal palms and suggest a road map to breed ideal palms for sustainable palm oil.
