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

This study investigates the relationship between urban block spatial morphology and microclimate in severe cold regions, using Shenyang, China as a case study. We employed computational fluid dynamics theory-based numerical simulation software and a controlled variable approach to analyze the microclimate effects of four key aspects: street conforming line ratio, street interface density, street aspect ratio, and building roof forms. The primary findings are as follows: Decreasing conforming line ratios initially increase average wind speed and temperature. Lower interface densities reduce average wind speed but raise temperature. Higher aspect ratios correspond to increased wind speed and decreased temperature. Additionally, upward sloping roofs correlate with higher average wind speed and temperature. This research provides a perspective for evaluating urban microclimates, considering human perception of urban block space. It also suggests spatial layout design strategies for different types of streets in severe cold regions, considering the climate environment.
