Advancing Environmental Epidemiology to Assess the Beneficial Influence of the Natural Environment on Human Health and Well-Being.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05090501 (A Randomized Trial of High Intensity Circuit Training in Nature and Indoors to Compare Exercise Performance, Emotions, Perceived Exertion, and the Variability of Movement and Heart Rate in Recreational Exercisers.), which is not on this map. Cited by 28 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.

Abstract
Environmental health research can be oriented across a continuum of effects ranging from adverse to cobenefits to salutogenic. We argue that the salutogenic end of the continuum is insufficiently represented in research and as a basis for environmental protection, even though there is growing evidence that the natural environment plays a critical role in blunting adverse effects and promoting human health and well-being. Thus, we advocate for advancing environmental health research through environmental epidemiology that more fully and directly accounts for the salutogenic effects of the natural environment on individual well-being by (1) defining "natural environments" broadly, from pristine natural areas to urban green infrastructure; (2) considering exposure comprehensively to encompass residential, occupational, and recreational settings, local and distant, day-to-day and occasional; (3) doing individual-level assessments that include both health and well-being outcomes and one's experience of nature, including potential mediation by connectedness to nature and individual perceptions and preferences, as well as sociocultural and demographic effect modifiers; and (4) collecting longitudinal and nationally representative data.
