Vertical land motion in Greater New Orleans: Insights into underlying drivers and impact to flood protection infrastructure.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vertical land motion is one of the main factors contributing to increased flood risk in coastal communities. Here, we use satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data to detect and measure previously undocumented land motions in Greater New Orleans (GNO), Louisiana. Although most of New Orleans is generally stable, rapid elevation loss occurs in parts of the city (up to -20 millimeters per year) and on flood protection walls constructed following Hurricane Katrina (up to -28 millimeters per year). This work provides unprecedented spatial coverage of land motion rates in GNO, including wetlands and the flood protection system previously lacking data, which allows a more detailed examination of ground deformation patterns and insight into underlying drivers. In the broader context, this work shows the potential of InSAR for measuring localized land motion in New Orleans and similar communities, particularly where the presence of wetlands complicates its application.
