Wetland shrinking and dust pollution in Khuzestan Iran: insights from sentinel-5 and MODIS satellites.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Dust pollution is a major environmental issue that threatens public health and ecosystems. This study investigates the relationship between wetland area reduction and the intensification of dust pollution in southwestern Iran, utilizing satellite data from Landsat, Sentinel-5, and MODIS (2010-2022). High-resolution imagery from Google Earth Engine (GEE) was used to extract dust event frequency data, while Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI) were employed to monitor dust pollution levels. Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) analysis revealed that the Hoor Al-Azim and Shadegan wetlands experienced their driest conditions in 2010, 2011, 2021, and 2022. A strong inverse correlation was observed between wetland area and dust event frequency, with correlation coefficients of - 0.85 for Hoor Al-Azim and - 0.90 for Shadegan. When the area of Hoor Al-Azim dropped below 60 km
