Urban expansion drivers and land use scenario simulation in Nanning, China, using the PLUS model.
Article in Science progress. 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
With environmental changes and rapid urbanization, Chinese cities face serious challenges such as disrupted water cycles, frequent flooding, and ecological imbalances. Therefore, China launched the Sponge City initiative in 2013, which evolved into a comprehensive, multiobjective urban management system by 2020. This study focuses on Nanning City, using multisource data from 1990 to 2020 and the Patch-generating Land Use Simulation model to examine land-use changes, driving forces, and future scenarios. Results show that: (1) Construction land increased 5.62 times, spreading from the Chaoyang Creek Basin to flat areas in the east and southeast; (2) Cultivated land and woodland contributed 89.13% and 7.65%, respectively, as main sources; (3) Digital Elevation Model, slope, and transportation were key drivers; and (4) Under ecological protection, woodland and grassland expanded, showing that policy can effectively limit urban growth. This study builds a historical-mechanism-scenario framework to support urban planning and ecological resilience in Nanning.
