Nanofertilizers for Sustainable African Agriculture: A Global Review of Agronomic Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability.
Review in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
As Africa's population continues to grow, the need for sustainable agricultural practices has intensified, sparking greater interest in nanofertilizers This review critically evaluates the agronomic efficiency and environmental sustainability of nanofertilizers in the African context. It combines existing research on nanofertilizers' effectiveness, nutrient-use efficiency, and environmental impact. Nanofertilizers have shown a nutrient-use efficiency boost of up to 30% compared to conventional fertilizers. This review also highlights benefits such as enhanced crop yields (up to 25% increase in maize production), reduced chemical fertilizer requirements (up to 40% reduction in nitrogen application), and improved soil health. The analysis informs policy, research, and practice aimed at optimizing nanofertilizer deployment for sustainable African agriculture. The projected global population of 2.4 billion by 2050 highlights that the need for sustainable agricultural solutions has never been more important. Our review conveys an assessment of nanofertilizers' potential contribution to Africa's agricultural sustainability and food security.
