EVALUATION AND COMPARISON OF MODIS AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTH RETRIEVAL ALGORITHMS OVER BRAZIL.
Article in Atmospheric environment (Oxford, England : 1994), 2023. 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
Brazil experiences significant aerosol loads throughout the year, particularly during the biomass-burning season in the Amazon. Thus, given the importance of aerosols for climate and health, this research aimed to validate and compare Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) products over Brazil. This evaluation considers three algorithms that retrieve AOD by using data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor: Dark Target (DT) at 3 and 10 km resolution, Deep Blue (DB), and Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC). To validate the satellite data, 17 sunphotometers from the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) were utilized. The results show a high correlation (R>0.9) between the MODIS-AOD products and ground-based data. However, MODIS-AOD products tend to overestimate or underestimate AOD values, depending on the specific AOD value and algorithm evaluated. Additionally, it was observed that the performance of the algorithms is influenced by factors such as land cover type, view geometry, and the spatiotemporal distribution of aerosols. In particular, challenges were encountered when retrieving robust AOD data for Savanna and Urban cover classes. In conclusion, the results indicate that MAIAC and DB algorithms demonstrate greater stability in retrieving AOD values. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when applying these products to map aerosols on specific surfaces, such as urban areas.
