1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Green infrastructure (GI) implementation can benefit an urban environment by reducing the impacts of urban stormwater on aquatic ecosystems and human health. However, few studies have systematically analyzed the biophysical effects on regional meteorology and air quality that are triggered by changes in the urban vegetative coverage. In this study we use a state-of-the-art high-resolution air quality model to simulate the effects of a hypothetically feasible vegetation-focused GI implementation scenario in Kansas City, MO/KS on regional meteorology and air quality. Full year simulations are conducted for both the base case and GI land use scenarios using two different land surface models (LSMs) schemes inside the meteorological model. While the magnitudes of the changes in air quality due to the GI implementation differ using the two LSMs, the model outputs consistently showed increases in summertime PM
