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

The search for sustainable alternatives to petroleum has driven research on biofuels, with a focus on those derived from organic biomass. This study centres on macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata), a promising oilseed for biodiesel production. Advances in cultivation techniques and the mapping of climatically suitable areas are essential to consolidate the use of this species in the energy sector. This work aimed to utilise predictive modelling with the CLIMEX software to assess the current and future climatic suitability of macaúba in the context of climate change. Data on the global distribution of macaúba, growth and stress parameters, as well as climatic variables, were collected. The modelling was conducted based on the A2 SRES scenario for the present, 2050, 2080, and 2100, including the generation of the Weekly Growth Index. Results indicated high suitability in tropical regions, particularly in Brazil and Indonesia. However, future projections highlight significant challenges due to rising temperatures and reduced rainfall. The study provides a critical perspective to guide sustainable policies in the energy sector, underscoring the potential of macaúba as a viable biodiesel source while warning of the challenges posed by climate change.
