Evaluation of the effect of ecological restoration in mineral resource cities and analysis of driving factors.
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 rapid expansion of the mining industry, while propelling economic growth, has concurrently inflicted severe damage on local ecosystems. The challenge of harmonizing the exploitation of mineral resources with the preservation of ecological environments is critical, particularly in densely mined regions, where achieving sustainable development is an urgent issue that demands immediate resolution. In this study, the Remote Sensing Ecological Distance Index (RSEDI) was developed based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, employing data from the Landsat series. Five indicators-greenness, humidity, dryness, heat, and black particulates-were selected and integrated using the distance function method. The city of Dexing was selected as the study area, with research conducted at both the municipal and township levels. The results illustrated that: (1) Between 2000 and 2020, Dexing City's ecological quality demonstrated a trend of initial decline followed by improvement. The region, as a whole, showed a pattern of enhanced greenness and moisture levels, along with reductions in dryness, temperature, and the spatial extent of atmospheric indices. (2) From a spatial perspective, the areas of ecological damage within the study region were predominantly located in the central and western mining zones. The shift in the focus of ecological improvement initially moved northeastward, then northwestward, and finally southwestward. In contrast, the migration pattern of the focus for ecological deterioration followed an opposite trajectory to that of ecological improvement. (3) Dynamic monitoring and analysis of RSEDI during different periods revealed that the ecological quality of Dexing City underwent an initial deterioration followed by an improvement. Overall, the ecological environment in Dexing City is progressively improving. (4) The results of the study provide valuable insights into the assessment of ecological restoration in mineral resource-based cities and contribute to the formulation of regional sustainable development strategies.
