Detection of Marine Litter on Arctic Beaches Based on Aerial Photography Using the YOLOv8s CNN.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Marine litter beach accumulation is a pressing issue not only for urban coastal areas but also for remote and uninhabited regions such as the Arctic. Existing manual litter collection and identification methods remain labor-intensive. An assessment of the volume and composition of marine litter was conducted for the Russian Arctic coastlines using high-resolution airphotos. The method is based on training the You Only Look Once (YOLOv8, 2023) convolutional neural network (CNN) in the Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) configuration to recognize plastic, metal, fishing gear, wood, and other types of marine litter on images. The best detection performance was obtained for metal and plastic-large, visually contrasting litter items. The worst performance was obtained for wood and other debris, primarily due to their similarity to the natural background. Machine learning (ML) methods combined with remote sensing data represent a new high-precision tool for large-scale environmental monitoring in the Arctic.
