Integrated geophysical healthy assessment for eco development and coastal sustainability in Ras Gamila, Egypt.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Arid coastal regions like Ras Gamila, Egypt, face pressing environmental challenges, including seawater intrusion, freshwater scarcity, and development pressures, which threaten their ecological and economic sustainability. This study bridges a critical research gap by developing an integrated framework that links subsurface geophysical stability with surface environmental conditions to guide eco-development. We employed a multi-method approach, combining vertical electrical sounding (VES), time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) soundings, shallow seismic reflection, soil radon analysis, and spatial data from digital elevation models (DEMs), shoreline dynamics, and climatological factors. Our results delineate a critical freshwater-bearing Nubian sandstone aquifer (19-94 m thick, resistivity: 228-302.5 Ωm) and identify significant seawater intrusion (resistivity: 1.1-2.5 Ωm). A novel sustainability matrix, integrating these diverse datasets, classifies the region into three distinct zones: high-sustainability inland areas (35-45% of the region) suitable for immediate development, moderate-sustainability central zones (35-45%) requiring targeted improvements, and low-sustainability coastal areas (25-30%) necessitating restoration and protection. The findings provide a scalable, geophysically-informed model for sustainable planning in arid coasts, directly supporting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 (Clean Water) and 13 (Climate Action) by offering a science-based strategy for balancing economic growth with environmental conservation.
