Distributable screen-printed soil pH sensor demonstrates robust response across variable soil conditions.
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
Management of soil pH is critical for maintaining crop productivity, but high-spatiotemporal measurement of pH in soils can be a challenge due to sampling methods, recalibration requirements, and instrumentation costs. To address these limitations, a distributable, screen-printed carbon-alizarin-based soil pH sensor designed for long-term continuous operation in soils was studied. Square-wave voltammetry is employed to determine the alizarin redox peak position in a current-voltage scan, which is proportional to pH and is relatively invariant over time. The printed sensors were tested across varying soil moisture content, compaction levels, and soil types, confirming robustness over different environmental and installation conditions without the need for recalibration. Integration of the electrodes onto a printed circuit board addressed with a custom low-cost, low-power, weatherized potentiostat enabled autonomous data logging and continuous operation for months under field conditions, demonstrating reliable in situ pH sensing. These results highlight the suitability of this approach for use in collecting spatiotemporally dense pH data directly and continuously in soils.
