Assessment of Lasso and Ridge models for soil swelling potential prediction.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Soil swelling is the most destructive geo-hazard recorded in history, considering its influence on the durability and stability of structures. The purpose of this study is to predict the one-dimensional swelling potential of soil through the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, Ridge regression, and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). The database of soils extracted from literature was obtained by means of predictive laboratory experiments, including plasticity index (Ip), dry density (γd), plastic limit (PL), liquid limit (LL), and clay. The novelty of this study lies in the utilization of Lasso and Ridge regression models in soil swell potential prediction. The model’s performance metrics were mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean deviation (MD), root mean square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2). The results demonstrate that Lasso outperformed the other techniques with a performance accuracy of R2 values of 0.872, 0.746, 0.935, 0.931 at RMSE values of 0.106%, 0.167%, 0.046%, 0.051%. The results of this work have practical implications for engineers and advance soil mechanics when addressing swelling potential areas and machine learning applications in geotechnical engineering, to overcome the rampant laboratory visitation in search of soil data needed for slope stability, ground improvement, earthworks, and seismic analysis. Specifically, when dealing with swell potential areas, the study’s predictive assistance in making better-informed decisions regarding the construction and design phases.
