Assessing the role of Alnus nepalensis D. Don in stabilizing landslide and its potential distribution: a case study from Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya.

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 rising frequency and severity of landslides in the vulnerable Himalayan region of India threaten human settlements and critical infrastructure. This growing issue demands urgent action and innovative strategies to mitigate risks and bolster the resilience of affected communities and infrastructure in this fragile area. The research explores the use of Alnus nepalensis for slope stabilization, illustrated by a case study near Ukhimath, Uttarakhand, India, and elucidates the potential ecological niche of Alnus in the temperate region of Uttarakhand using well-dispersed species occurrence records along with environment. The study used Sentinel-2 (2021) data for land use and land cover (LULC) mapping and Landsat 4-5, Sentinel-2, and Google Earth imagery from 1998, 2004, 2015, 2019, and 2020 for landslide slope recovery assessment. The Ukhimath landslide, spanning 54.61 ha in August 1998, demonstrated a remarkable recovery, with 98.20% coverage of Alnus by 2020, showcasing the species efficacy in stabilizing slopes without human intervention. The research forecasts a total potential distribution area of Alnus in the temperate region (1,000-2,500 m·asl [above mean sea level]) of Uttarakhand as ∼7,833 km2, with 782.30 km2 highly suitable, 2,104.33 km2 moderately suitable, and the rest showing low suitability. These distribution insights provide a foundation for in situ planning to leverage Alnus-based bioengineering for early slope stabilization, which is especially relevant in landslide-prone areas like Uttarakhand. The study provides a comprehensive and scientifically rigorous strategy for achieving sustainable outcomes in landslide-prone areas, particularly in the lower temperate region of the Himalaya.
