LULC Assessment and Green Infrastructure Conservation in residential neighborhoods: a case of FESTAC Town, Lagos, Nigeria.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2024. 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 addressing environmental challenges and ecosystem resilience, green networks are preserved, repaired, and rebuilt by green infrastructure. However, urbanization effects have seen urban land form undergo significant modifications over time due to different anthropogenic activities. The objective of this study is to evaluate the land use and land cover (LULC) change in FESTAC Town, a government-owned residential neighborhood in Lagos, with the goal of recommending interventions for conserving green infrastructure. The study mainly focuses on employing remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques to detect alterations in land use in FESTAC Town from 1984 to 2022. The ERDAS Imagine software was utilized, employing a supervised classification-maximum likelihood algorithm, to identify changes in LULC. Additionally, an accuracy assessment was conducted using ground truth data. Findings from this study show significant increase in built-up areas at the cost of loss in dense vegetation over a 38-year period thereby, putting pressure on available green spaces. In terms of the area under each LULC category, most significant changes have been observed in built-up area (410.86%), bare surface (- 79.79%), sparse vegetation (- 53.42%), and dense vegetation (- 31.83%). Effective conservation strategies should focus on promoting connectivity between green spaces, engaging stakeholders in the planning and implementation of green infrastructure projects.
