Green environments and cardiovascular health.
Review in Trends in cardiovascular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Several large epidemiological studies have found robust associations between greenness and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). These studies report that close residential proximity to greenness is associated with a decrease in cardiovascular mortality as well as major adverse cardiovascular events. Although mechanisms underlying this link are not well understood, the beneficial health effects of greenness have been linked to its ability to relieve stress, decrease air pollution, and encourage physical activity. Greenness in residential neighborhoods could also increase access to healthy goods and services, as well as social interactions. Research into the health effects of greenness could provide new insights into the environmental determinants of CVD risk and could inform the development of actionable greenness-based strategies to prevent CVD and its clinical manifestations.
