Harnessing genetic diversity in wheat to enhance grain nutrition and yield for biofortification breeding.
Article in Biological research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies affect more than two billion people globally. Moreover, phytic acid (PA), an essential phosphorus storage molecule, acts at the same time as an inhibitor of Fe and Zn, forming insoluble complexes; thus, there is a need for balanced compositions of these three substances. Biofortification breeding in staple food crops to combat malnutrition is a straightforward approach. However, evaluating the genetic diversity of the gene pool and the trade-offs between grain nutrients and morphophysiological and yield traits is important. Grain colour is influenced by nutrient composition, including that of minerals such as iron. Therefore, diverse germplasms of 813 genotypes, including Triticum aestivum, Triticum durum, and Triticosecale, were screened for grain colour. A core collection of 26 genotypes was evaluated for the micronutrient concentration over two growing seasons. Further, five contrasting genotypes were chosen to estimate the bioavailability of Fe and Zn.
