A study on the monitoring of LNAPL migration using ERT.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
This study employs electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) to experimentally investigate the migration characteristics of light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL) under various groundwater conditions. Through cross-hole measurements and time-lapse inversion, the migration process of LNAPL under three scenarios-unsaturated conditions, constant groundwater levels, and declining water levels-was systematically analyzed. The results indicate that LNAPL migration behavior exhibits significant differences under different conditions. Under unsaturated conditions, the vertical migration rate of LNAPL gradually decreases over time, with an average rate of 1.06 cm/h, and is influenced by preferential migration pathways formed in coarse-grained regions. At constant water levels, the migration of LNAPL is significantly constrained by the groundwater level, spreading horizontally near the water table after reaching it, with an average rate of 0.51 cm/h. When the groundwater level declines, LNAPL migrates rapidly downward along preferential flow paths, with an average rate increasing to 1.45 cm/h. Miller Soil Box experiments further reveal the relationship between LNAPL content and electrical resistivity, showing that an increase in LNAPL can significantly alter soil resistivity, especially under low moisture conditions. Overall, this study confirms the monitoring advantages of ERT technology for LNAPL migration behavior under different conditions and provides important references for remediation strategies at contaminated sites.
