Microbially induced stabilized rammed earth: Compressive strength-capillary water absorption Co-relationship.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Rammed Earth (RE) is finding more applications as a sustainable construction material with cement as stabilizer. However, RE is susceptible to water absorption through pores, weakening the bond between the soil particles, reducing its strength and lifespan. Increased cement content, though enhances strength, does not effectively fill pores. There are no proven methods to fill pores with cementitious materials in structures like RE. In this study, Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) has been adopted during casting to improve the compressive strength of cement-stabilized RE. MICP technique not only enhances the strength but also fills pores, inhibiting capillary water absorption thereby extending the lifespan of RE. The results of tests on MICP-induced specimen indicated that the compressive strength increased by an average of 26 %. The capillary water absorption reduced considerably with the bacterial induction. A relationship between compressive strength and capillary water absorption of RE is arrived. While further study is necessary for microbial stabilization to be used in RE, these preliminary data show promising results.
