Strength and microstructural behaviour of sand Kaolin mixtures stabilized with terrazyme and Xanthan gum.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
This study evaluates the efficacy of TerraZyme (bioenzyme) and Xanthan Gum (biopolymer) in improving the mechanical behavior of Sand-Kaolin mixtures for sustainable soil stabilization. Sand and 15% Kaolin blend were treated with different additive dosages, and the specimens were evaluated via static triaxial testing under unconsolidated undrained conditions, the results are supported by further microstructural and chemical spectroscopy analyses. The optimum dosages found to be 0.075 mL/kg for TerraZyme and 1% (w/w) Xanthan Gum for increasing the shear strength up to 2.5 times after curing for 30 days. TerraZyme facilitated biochemical interaction, forming cemented bonds between sand particles and Xanthan Gum connected the particles via a polymeric network improving interparticle bonding. The results reveal that the use of bioenzymes and biopolymers in stabilization is an environmentally friendly, low-carbon option for ground improvement compared to that of chemical stabilizers.
