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

With the growing evidence that connects urban environments with public health outcomes, the role of urban planning has become increasingly critical in addressing public health challenges. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality in urban areas and worldwide and are impacted by characteristics of the built environment, such as walkability and nature exposure. In this literature view, we explore the influence of the physical built environment, specifically green spaces and walkability, on cardiovascular health. Results from prior studies show a clear reduction in cardiovascular disease-related risk factors, morbidity, and mortality in neighborhoods that integrate green spaces and/or walkability. Cumulative evidence suggests that urban environments that integrate green spaces (such as parks) and walkability (eg, safe sidewalks) can significantly improve cardiovascular health. Urban planning policies and strategies that prioritize the integration of green infrastructure and walkable designs can contribute to improving cardiovascular health in urban residents while also enhancing the overall well-being and quality of life.
