Effects of soil particle size on rainfall-induced erosion of near-horizontal layered slopes.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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 problem of soil erosion is prominent in the arid region of northwest China, and the Kapo in Wensu County, Xinjiang is highly susceptible to erosion and damage disasters due to the formation of chalky high steep slopes affected by rivers. In order to provide theoretical support for slope prevention and control, this paper investigates the erosion damage characteristics of three different grain size compositions of nearly horizontal laminated soil slopes under rainfall by using rainfall simulation equipment in an indoor model box test. The results show that rainfall, slope soil properties and cracks are the main causes of erosion damage on slopes. As rainfall increases, the slope shows regressive damage from the foot of the slope to the top of the slope. Soil slopes with coarse-grained sand have less erosion damage due to good permeability of the sand layer; slopes with fine soil particles have weak erosion resistance and severe gully erosion. The dominant seepage channels formed by cracks play a significant role in the erosion damage of slopes.
