Assessment of water use efficiency in arid ecosystems of the coastal land of Egypt using MODIS dataset.
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
In drylands, the limited availability of reliable measurements makes it more difficult to understand how climatic and biogeochemical factors shape ecosystem processes across spatial gradients compared to mesic or humid regions. Water use efficiency (WUE) is a key physiological indicator for assessing interactions between carbon and water cycles in any ecosystem. Yet, in dryland ecosystems with sparse vegetation where evaporation represents a large fraction of total evapotranspiration (ET), the response of WUE to land use changes needs more investigation. To address this gap, the present study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of WUE in coastal dryland ecosystems of Egypt to better understand how land use practices affect water dynamics. Using an integrated approach that combines remote sensing products, WUE trends were assessed across representative sites. The results show high spatial variation in the WUE pattern over the 25-year period, with absolute values ranging from below 1.0 × 10
