COVID-19 lockdown effects on a coastal marine environment: Disentangling perception versus reality.
Article in The Science of the total environment, 2022. 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
COVID-19 lockdown brought to a drastic reduction of anthropic impacts on the environment worldwide, including the marine-coastal system. Earth-Observation (EO) data have the potential to monitor and diagnose the effects of the lockdown in terms of water quality. Here we connect the dots among some coastal environmental changes that occurred during the Italian COVID-19 lockdown by using EO data, also seeking to assess connectivity between inland and marine systems. We present a holistic analysis of spatial and temporal variability of environmental parameters in the North Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean basin, exploiting the synergy of different satellite sensors, as well as hydrologic data from in situ observations. Our analysis indicates a favourable interplay of environmental variability that resulted in negative anomalies of Chlorophyll-a concentration, with respect to the climatologic values. Peculiar meteo-oceanographic and hydrological conditions made hard to disentangle potential anthropogenic effects. However, a multi-year hierarchical cluster analysis of riverine remote sensing reflectances groups together the optical properties of inland waters during the lockdown. This emergent cluster highlights the possibility of a second-order, anthropogenic effect that, superimposed to the (first-order) environmental natural causes, may have enhanced water quality during the lockdown.
