Towards enhanced Sargassum monitoring in the Caribbean Sea.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Monitoring Sargassum along the coasts of the Greater Caribbean has become essential due to recurrent blooms since 2018, which bring severe ecological, economic, and social impacts that accumulate yearly. Developing an advanced, monitoring platform would enable affected countries to make informed decisions, manage critical zones, and mitigate negative impacts on coastal ecosystems, economies, and public health. In this work, we present the LANOT platform, a new tool for monitoring Sargassum across the Mexican Caribbean and neighboring regions, including Belize, Guatemala, and parts of Honduras. Utilizing Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8/9 satellite imagery, the platform provides data updated every five days and includes interactive features for selecting layers, querying Sargassum imagery by date or raft area, measuring regions, and downloading files in GeoTIFF, GeoJSON, and PNG formats. These interactive tools allow users to create and download custom files for use in their Sargassum management plans. Although the platform faces inherent limitations of satellite remote sensing, it represents a key advancement in monitoring efforts, marking a milestone for Sargassum observation in the region and supporting regional ecosystem management and research.
