Zinc agronomic biofortification in wheat and its drivers: a global meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Zinc (Zn) deficiency affects 17% of the world's population, particularly those consuming large cereal grains with low Zn concentration and poor bioavailability. Here, we synthesize data from four field trials along with 139 studies from the literature, to evaluate the impact of management practices and soil properties on improving grain Zn concentration in wheat through applying Zn fertilizers. Soil application of Zn fertilizer improves grain Zn concentration by only 29.1%, below the biofortification target of 40 mg kg
