Food, Feed, and Phytochemical Uses of Wild Edible Plants: A Systematic Review.
Review in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Wild edible plants (WEPs) are potential food, feed, and health benefit sources. The present study describes a comprehensive synthesis on the food, feed, and pharmaceutical uses of WEPs distributed in different parts of Ethiopia. A systematic literature search strategy retrieved 689 articles from PubMed and Semantic Scholar electronic databases. The online search of articles was conducted from January to April 2023. The retrieved articles were screened against inclusion criteria. Finally, 129 full-text articles complying with eligibility criteria were included. The results of the reviewed articles revealed that there are 679 WEP species registered in Ethiopia, and the distribution of WEPs among different regions of the country is widely different. The results indicated that various aspects of 286 WEP species were described in at least two or more pieces of literature. Though there are differences in modes of consumption and preparation across communities living in different regions of Ethiopia, there is a similar tradition of consuming fruits, leaves, roots, young stems, and whole parts of WEPs for food, feed, and/or health benefit purposes. WEP families (i.e., Fabaceae, Moraceae, and Malvaceae) and species (i.e.,
