Oil crop supply chains drive rising global biodiversity loss and outsource impacts to the tropics.
Article in Nature food, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Oil crop expansion threatens global biodiversity, yet its supply chain impacts remain poorly quantified. Here we analyse biodiversity impacts along oil crop supply chains from 1995 to 2020 using spatially explicit assessments, a hybridized multi-regional input-output framework, enhanced supply chain mapping and structural decomposition analysis. By 2020, oil crop cultivation caused the potential long-term loss of 1.5% of global species (plants and terrestrial vertebrates), with oil palm, coconuts and soybeans responsible for three-quarters of this effect. Tropical regions, occupying just under half of harvested area, bear almost four-fifths of impacts. More than half of this loss was outsourced through international trade, as major importers displace biodiversity burdens to tropical regions. Biodiversity impacts increased by four-fifths since 1995, statistically attributed primarily to rising per capita consumption. Our findings identify production hotspots and consumption-side contributions, supporting targeted interventions to mitigate biodiversity impacts along oil crop supply chains.
