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.

Outdoor time is positively associated with improved physical and mental health in adults. Little is known about the specific effects of outdoor time on health outcomes for parents and educators of preschool-aged children. Early childhood is a critical window for growth and development, as parental and educator stress negatively impacts young children; thus, it is of paramount importance to systematically support parents and educators during these developmental years. The objectives of this research were to use a cross-sectional natural experiment to (1) evaluate the association between outdoor time and physical and mental health in caregivers and educators who engage with preschool-aged children; (2) evaluate the association between income and physical and mental health in caregivers and educators who engage with preschool-aged children; and (3) identify benefits and barriers of outdoor time and the importance, availability, and accessibility of community resources for outdoor time. Participants were recruited from three stakeholder groups: preschool educators, parents of children attending an outdoor preschool, and parents of preschool-aged children in the local community. Participants completed a health needs assessment (
