Impact analysis of COVID-19 pandemic control measures on nighttime light and air quality in cities.
Article in Remote sensing applications : society and environment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected human society on a global scale. COVID-19 pandemic control measures have led to significant changes in nighttime light (NTL) and air quality. Four cities that were severely impacted by the pandemic and that implemented different pandemic control measures, namely, Wuhan (China), Delhi (India), New York (United States), and Rome (Italy), were selected as study areas. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and air quality data were used to study the variation characteristics of NTL and air quality in the four cities in 2020. NTL brightness in Wuhan, Delhi, New York, and Rome decreased by 8.88%, 17.18%, 8.21%, and 6.33%, respectively, compared with pre-pandemic levels; in the resumption phase Wuhan and Rome NTL brightness recovered by 13.74% and 3.38%, but Delhi and New York decreased by 16.23% and 4.99%.
