Finger Millet: A Genetic Resource for Calcium and Iron Biofortification in Staple Crops.
Review in Molecular nutrition & food research, 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
Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are one of the major health concerns worldwide. Micronutrient deficiencies, also known as hidden hunger, have negatively impacted human health globally. These deficiencies, particularly calcium and iron, have a negative impact on the overall growth and development of an individual. Hence, it is necessary to search, and adopt new strategies which will help curb these deficiencies as well as enhance the nutritional content of the food. Biofortification is one promising approach which utilizes conventional as well as modern plant breeding techniques to enhance the nutritional content of food. Finger millet (FM, Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn), a crop rich in nutrients such as calcium, iron, and dietary fibers, thus serves as an ideal candidate for this approach. The current review explores the biofortification approach and the use of FM in combating food and nutrition security challenges. Additionally, this review also highlights the key genes and gene families involved in the uptake, transport, and storage of calcium and iron. Emphasis is also placed on the current scenario and usage of molecular markers for improvement and selection of FM varieties with desired traits.
