MICP incorporated biopolymer to mitigate wind erosion of sand.
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
In this study, the Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technique was integrated with four distinct biopolymers to evaluate the wind erosion resistance and durability of desert sand soil in Kashi, Xinjiang. The samples were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). SEM images revealed that the biopolymers effectively filled the interstitial spaces between calcium carbonate crystals and sand particles, thereby enhancing the cohesion of the soil matrix. XRD analysis indicated a significantly higher relative abundance of calcite mineral mass in samples incorporating biopolymers compared to those without biopolymers. EDS analysis demonstrated that samples containing biopolymers exhibited markedly elevated normalized concentrations of calcium ions, suggesting enhanced precipitation efficiency. Collectively, these findings confirm a substantial improvement in the bearing capacity, wind erosion resistance, and durability of the samples treated with biopolymers.
