Grain zinc, iron and protein concentrations of contemporary wheat cultivars fall short of targets for human health.
Synthesis in Nature food, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Grain zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and protein concentrations have declined in wheat cultivars released since the 1960s. Here we conducted a meta-analysis of field studies to provide a global synthesis of how genetic, environmental and agronomic factors influence grain Zn, Fe and protein concentrations. The probability of achieving the Zn target (38 mg kg
