Linking genetic gains to food security outcomes: An assessment of IRRI'S rice breeding efforts in the Philippines and Indonesia.
Article in Food security, 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
The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) runs the largest public rice breeding program in the world, playing a crucial role in ensuring global food security. Using a large dataset containing 12,045 yield observations of IRRI elite lines, we estimate the annual genetic gain attributable to IRRI since the release of IR8, the variety that launched the Green Revolution, and the market impacts in Indonesia and the Philippines. Results indicate that since the release of IR8, the genetic gains from IRRI lines have increased by 0.58% annually. The estimated average annual supply increase through producer adoption of IRRI lines in Indonesia and the Philippines was sufficient to feed an additional 25.14 million people's annual rice consumption. An important aspect of this study's findings is to highlight the significant role that public breeders like IRRI play in combating global food insecurity, even in the face of diminishing funding.
