1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This paper investigates the spatiotemporal patterns of aerosol optical depth (AOD) over 25 wetlands and lakes in Iran during the period 2000-2024. Monthly AOD values were integrated with climate and terrestrial variables. Trend analysis was performed using the Hamed-Rao Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope estimator. The results indicated that AOD increased by 8 and 12% over Iran's water bodies in winter and autumn, respectively, while no significant increasing trends were observed in spring and summer. Annually, 8% of Iranian wetlands faced a significant increasing trend in AOD, which mostly occurred over the Jazmourian and Sheedvar wetlands (Z > 2.5). Seasonally, a notable increasing trend occurred over the Amirkelayeh, Parishan, and Mighan wetlands, as well as Lake Urmia (Z > 3). Using Random Forest and XGBoost models combined with SHAP analysis, it was determined that AOD changes were primarily associated with wind speed and vegetation cover in Jazmourian, and with salinity and soil moisture in the Parishan wetland. Terrestrial factors (80.3%) had a greater contribution to the degradation of air quality in both wetlands compared to climatic factors (19.7%). These findings are useful for understanding the synergy between natural and anthropogenic factors governing air quality in aquatic ecosystems in Iran.
