Evaluating the impact of added greenery on perceived factors of an urban environment in virtual reality.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The wellbeing effects of urban greenspace are well established, but may be more attributable to pedestrians' perceptions than objective levels of greenery. An immersive virtual environment was designed with three levels of roadside greenery: no trees, 200 trees, and 400 trees. Participants were asked to rate each for several perceived and objective factors, and gave their years lived experience in urban, rural, and suburban environments. Trees impacted perceptions of beauty and greenness, and, slightly, building heights. Controlling for urban experience significantly lessened the impact of trees, but showed that perceived greenness had higher significant correlations to all other outcomes.
