Multiscale anthropogenic feature detection in the Argentinian Andes: satellite machine learning, UAV, and pedestrian survey.
Article in NPJ heritage science, 2026. 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
The Cusi Cusi micro region in Argentina's Andes presents a unique challenge for cultural heritage research. This rugged area lies within the Puna of Jujuy at elevations from 3800 to 4200 metres above sea level. Archaeological, historical, and features indicate long term human presence, including livestock enclosures, agricultural terraces, and settlement structures. The region is situated within the 'Lithium Triangle' and faces challenges in resource ownership, Indigenous rights, and landscape change, highlighting the importance of documenting cultural and environmental heritage. We present an integration of satellite and unpiloted aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with pedestrian survey datasets, machine learning (ML), and physical ground truthing to explore anthropogenic activities in the landscape. Satellite-based ML detects features while UAV data improves resolution and assessment of present activities. Targeted pedestrian survey validates results and provides potential dating. This combined approach identifies loci of activities and offers a framework for investigating other rugged regions.
