Utilizing hydrophobic sand to construct an air permeable aquiclude to enhance rice yields.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 Chinese government attaches great importance to the ecological restoration of abandoned open-pit mines, increasing the area of cultivated land, and ensuring food security. Soil reconstruction is a crucial step in ecological restoration of abandoned open-pit mines. This study investigated the utilization of hydrophobic sand to create an Air-Permeable Aquiclude (APAC) under the plant root zones, thereby minimizing water infiltration and enhancing soil aeration. Field plot experiments for 2 years have been conducted, with control groups, Clay Aquitard (CAT), and Plastic Aquiclude (PAC), to evaluate the effects of APAC on rice yield, nitrogen utilization, and water efficiency. The findings revealed that utilizing APAC resulted in a significant rise in rice yield, ranging from 8.09 t/hm² to 9.27 t/hm², which were 7.67-27.16% higher than the control groups. Moreover, the APAC led to a remarkable reduction in irrigation water usage by 37.08%, alongside a substantial boost in Irrigation Water Productivity (IWP) efficiency by 28.64-71.12%. Notably, Nitrogen Partial Factor Productivity (NPFP) exhibited a substantial increase of 7.69-27.06%. These outcomes underscore the APAC's positive role in water and nutrient conservation and enhanced yields.
