Analyzing the ecologicality and functionality of kiln architecture in China through KH coder data mining algorithm and hierarchical event coding.
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 2 papers.
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
Recent studies focused on the ecological characteristics, heritage conservation, and economic benefits of kiln architecture, with most studies emphasizing structural analysis while neglecting the interaction mechanisms between architecture and ecological environment. Based on constructing ecologicality-architecture-cultural resilience theory, this study analyzes the structural features, ecological technologies, and conservation status of kiln architecture across various regions in China through KH Coder data mining and hierarchical event coding method and proposes a new protective framework. Findings: (1) Kiln architecture has evolved from built-against-the-mountain to semi-buried, fully-buried, reinforced earth-covered, and independent forms, as functional demands have changed from hazard avoidance to climate adaptability, functional expansion, and energy-saving design; (2) Climate, topography, and soil conditions are key factors driving the emergence of built-against-the-mountain, along-the-valley, sunken courtyard, and independent kiln architecture types; (3) Geological characteristics and material availability significantly shape the vaulted structural features of kiln architecture across different regions. Cultural archaeology and technological advancement have formed the main trajectory of cave dwelling environment development, promoting functional transformation and ecological planning. Meanwhile, political-oriented have acted as a secondary trajectory, advancing the standardization of construction techniques. The results confirm the decisive role of the natural environment in shaping the forms and variations of kiln architecture.
