Influence of urban and transport planning and the city environment on cardiovascular disease.
Review in Nature reviews. Cardiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 72 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Review describes the relationship between urban and transport planning and the city environment, the main cardiovascular risk factors (including physical activity, hypertension, and obesity), and cardiovascular disease and mortality. Good evidence exists for a relationship between built environment measures (such as mixed land use, connectivity and walkability, and physical activity), environmental exposures (such as green space, air pollution, and noise), and cardiovascular disease and mortality. Some good evidence exists for a link between transport mode and cardiovascular disease, but evidence is inconsistent for an association between built environment measures and weight status, and between green space and either weight status or physical activity. Further research is needed into the influence of built environment measures on cardiovascular disease and mortality. Urban and transport planning has an important effect on cardiovascular health and its risk factors. Cardiovascular disease and mortality could be reduced by better urban and transport planning that promotes physical activity; reduces levels of air pollution, noise, and heat island effects; and increases green space.
