Genetically modified crops in Africa: progress, challenges, and future prospects.
Review in GM crops & 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
Genetically modified (GM) crops represent a promising solution to address the challenges of food security and economic growth in Africa. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of GM crop adoption in Africa, highlighting the achievements, obstacles, and prospects. Case studies from nine African countries, namely South Africa, Burkina Faso, Sudan, Egypt, Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Ghana, illustrate the diverse approaches and outcomes of GM crop cultivation in different African contexts. Key factors influencing adoption include biosafety regulation, institutional capacity, public perception, seed systems, market considerations, stakeholder engagement, and regional policy coordination. The review also highlights the potential of emerging technologies, including genome editing and gene stacking, for developing climate-resilient and nutritionally improved crops. To fully realize the potential of GM technology in Africa, stakeholders must collaborate to establish consistent, science-based regulatory frameworks, raise public awareness, foster public-private partnerships, support farmer-oriented research, and strengthen regional coordination.
